Fresh meat contains highly digestible nutrients and a significant biological value. The cat energy level is improved due to the proper digestion of fresh ingredients. Stools will likely be smaller and firmer, since fresh and unprocessed food is far better absorbed by their organism. Hence, discharges tend to be decreased.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Homemade cat food is a meal that a pet owner prepares by mixing all the required ingredients, consisting of raw or cooked\u00a0boneless<\/strong>\u00a0meat, organs, and fruits & vegetables (and supplements).<\/p>\n

Even though this may involve a certain amount of time and energy (especially if you\u2019re preparing portions for several weeks), this fresh food diet offers you more freedom (compared to commercial premade formulas). But don\u2019t you worry, they are simpler to prepare than you think!<\/p>\n

Here is the list of ingredients that we can find in fresh cat diet. However, you must note that most homemade rations often lead to nutritional deficiencies, namely in terms of vitamin D, vitamin E, choline, zinc, copper, manganese, and more. Hence, it is essential to\u00a0add supplements<\/strong>, such as the Karbur powder supplement, that contains all the essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, and developed to meet the specific needs of each cat life stage and correct the deficiencies often found in homemade cat recipes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

* Should you use the Karbur cat powder supplement in your homemade ration, it is mandatory that you use\u00a0boneless<\/strong>\u00a0meat, since our supplement contains enough calcium and phosphorus.<\/p>\n

**Exercise care and caution when you feed your cat with liver, as it must not exceed 50% of the organ daily ration. It is recommended to combine the daily\u00a0organ<\/strong>\u00a0ration (10%) with\u00a05% liver only<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a05% of any other organ<\/strong>. As a matter of fact, an excess amount of liver can lead to hypervitaminosis A.<\/p>\n

*** Fruits & vegetables to avoid: Grapes, peach, cherry, nectarine, apricot, rhubarb, citrus fruits, onions, garlic, mushroom, raw potato, avocado, tomato stem and leaf, chives, shallots, leek, etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We recommend you to feed your kitten twice a day (morning & night) (even three times a day, if possible) until your kitten is at least 6 months old. By doing so, it will protect them as much as possible from any episode of hypoglycemia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

THE TRANSITION<\/h2>\n

Should your cat have a sensitive digestive system, you may fast them for 12 hours or less before introducing the new diet.<\/p>\n

Before initiating the transition, we recommend you to book an appointment with your vet to check on your cat\u2019s health. Furthermore, kitten (regardless of their age) should not fast at all.<\/p>\n

We recommend first trying an easily digestible protein, such as chicken, turkey, or duck, and slightly cooking it (if possible). After a few days, you can slowly introduce raw food until the transition process is completed (which normally lasts 7-10 days). Then, you can include other types of meat. Otherwise, your cat may remain on a cooked-meat homemade diet, if you prefer. Consequently, you must ensure that this is\u00a0boneless<\/strong>\u00a0meat.<\/p>\n

When introduced to fresh food, some cats may go through a transition phase and experience certain symptoms, especially for cats with a sensitive digestive system or that were previously fed with\u00a0commercial food. Kitten and younger cats generally adapt more easily to dietary changes.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”46px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
