I think some peeps here use the Feline Instincts supplement to add to a raw meat diet and have had to buy it from overseas, but I've just discovered you can buy it here in the UK now. I havent used it myself but I have heard quite good things about it, and it kinda takes the guesswork out of formulating a balanced raw food diet. Just thought this might be useful for those who already use it and anyone thinking of starting their cats on a raw meat diet. http://www.realpetfood.co.uk/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1

Thanks Gillian. That's good to know. I might get some of that. What would you need to add to the feline instincts? I can't see on that link exactly what it contains. Would it be ok to just add the raw meat?

Sorry, I was in a bit of a rush earlier and meant to say Instincts is a powder that contains things like calcium, taurine, kelp, vit E, probiotics, etc, so yes, you just add that to your boneless meat + liver to create a balanced diet. There is also a supplement if you were using bone in meats, a kitten supplememnt, and interestingly, one for CRF cats, although I don't think that one is listed on the UK site yet. The ingredients are all listed on the felineinstincts main site http://www.felineinstincts.com/ - scroll down to their brochure downloads.

By the way, when you look at the Feline Instincts site, you must look at the photos of their cats - click on Our Felines and scroll down the photos, they have a beautifiul cream scratching post to die for, and I love the pic of the two cats in their cat size little fireside chairs, its brill!! ;D

I would be interested in getting some of the CRF diet powder as I tried clapton with raw chicken this week and he loves it - for some reason, the vet said cooked chicken so not sure if its OK to give him raw?

Oops - made a mistake with the brand that the realpetfood site is stocking! - thought it was feline instincts, but its actually feline future http://www.felinefuture.com/ - its a bit confusing because the felinefuture site also says Insincts on its homepage! So the feline future brand doesnt do a CRF supplement, just the ordinary adult cat sup. But as I understand it the feline instincts (including the CRF sup) can be bought online direct from http://www.felineinstincts.com/index.html and they do ship internationally. Well, hope thats clear as mud! :Crazy:
Mark I've never had any problem feeding raw chicken since I've been raw feeding around year and half now, and I know others who have been feeding raw a lot longer than I have with no problems. I think its the concern about salmonella, which cats guts are more able to deal with than ours!
