Raw food for cats

The basics of introducing your feline to a raw diet

What’s raw feeding?

This approach uses uncooked, meat‑based foods with a balanced mix of muscle meat, organs and bone. Since cats also need essential nutrients like taurine, formulated raw foods are a great way to ensure complete, consistent nutrition.
