How much raw food does my cat need?
For a quick recommendation, you can use our raw food feeding calculator as a guide. If you're feeding a raw food diet for cats, your pet's needs will depend on various factors. These include:
- Age
- Weight
- Typical levels of activity
- Past and current health
- Any existing allergies or conditions
- Genetics and body type
Life stage also matters, because not all cats grow at the same rate. For example, a young kitten might need higher levels of protein and essential amino acids to support growth and development.
Before you start feeding cats raw food, we suggest asking your vet any health-related questions. This will help to address your concerns and think of the most suitable feeding plan for your cat's needs.
How should I transition my cat to a raw diet?
We understand that making the switch to raw can be tricky, especially for older cats who've eaten the same food for a long time! This is because cats learn what's safe to eat from their mothers as kittens, which makes them more likely to become picky eaters.
