Some cat owners prefer to get ready the meals they serve their feline friends. If you have time to research, plan, shop, and get ready the food, as well as room to store the ingredients, you may prefer to make your cat's food yourself.
Some homemade diets contain cooked meats, vegetables, fruits and grains. Others focus on raw ingredients, along with meaty chicken and turkey bones, organ meat (liver, kidney, heart, brain, tongue and tripe), and eggs.
You can add grebe leafy vegetables after running them straight through a food processor or juicer to break down the cellulose. Some people also add one or more of the following: vegetable oils, brewer's yeast, kelp, apple cider vinegar, fruits, raw honey, dairy products (particularly raw goat milk, cottage cheese, and plain yogurt), and small helpings of grains.
The major attraction to homemade diets, either raw or cooked, is that you know what your cat is eating because you settle on and get ready the ingredients. Of course, having to settle on ingredients and get ready your cat's food is also a drawback because of the time required to shop, make the food and clean up.
Proper handling of ingredients, especially meats, is an vital part of making ready homemade pet food. Raw meat and poultry contain bacteria that can cause food poisoning and may also harbor parasites and their eggs and larvae.
These unwelcome critters may endanger not only your cat and other pets, but also you and your human family, so utensils, containers, and work spaces must be kept scrupulously clean. Many people wear plastic gloves when handling raw meat. either or not you do, all the time wash your hands completely with soap and water afterward.
Unlike pet food manufacturer, you do not have a full time staff of nutritionist and researches at your disposal, so if you feed your cat a homemade diet, you will have to spend time learning as much as potential about feline nourishment to ensure that you furnish all the nutrients your cat needs.
