This is great info, my kitten is slowly transitioning to raw and she’s loving it.. thanks so much

I discovered Viva Raw from your channel. It's our go to for Filo's meals. Thank you for introducing Viva!

This was what I needed, thanks for the detailed lists Jess!

Cats do get vegetable matter in the wild by eating the intestines of animals that had eaten vegetable matter. But I do understand your point that they do not usually eat human type vegies. I mix chopped grass into food or just give fresh grass. Thanks for giving a great rounded out view & plenty of options for people in different situations. I agree, even if you feed cooked or grocery store raw meats it's far far better than processed foods. Your presentations are very thorough. (Just my own tips for beginners: Marked down raw meat from grocery can have alot of bacteria, maybe too much, even with washing, so be careful) Also it's good to start them out early on raw bones & continue un-interupted. If you adopt a dog or cat that may have been on a poor diet, their intestines/teeth can be comptomised & lead to punctures or broken teeth. I found this out the hard way.)

Hey Jess! Thanks so much for these videos! I want to buy some of your recipes... wondering if you are able to tell me how much Now Bone Meal I can substitute in your recipes if I buy them? Thanks for your time!

Wish equivalent resources were listed for UK suppliers! I have not graduated to raw food (yet) and am struggling with appropriate supplements. Initially I used a you tube video from someone who really seemed to understand all the ins and outs of cat nutrition but using cooked turkey primarily. She DID grind the turkey bones - I kept the turkey bones separate and then ground them after cooking - and then sieved them to ensure that any sharp fragments could not be left in the cat food. Added ingredients included pumpkin, green beans, flax seed, wheat bran, kelp salmon oil ...and so on. Any information that would help me on my journey would be much appreciated.

Hey Jess great video as always! Quick question did you ever mention if you are/going to be a pet nutritionist?

great video!

Have you looked at taurine powder side effects

Does anyone know if a chicken wing could be seared for a few seconds on the outside? He's not huge on 100% raw but it wouldn't cook the bone right?

How can I get my 2 cats started on raw chicken wings? Do i do just a bit at first or can I so one wing a day or every few days until they get used to it? This video is great thank you!

What's the product for the grind up bones?

I’ve been trying to transition my 2 cats to a raw diet, but Kyra, the female, only eats chicken breast a little bit cooked with the canned meat. The other cat, Set, male, doesn’t want to eat any meat, he would only nibble on some of the chicken, or tuna; he used to eat pork liver, kidneys and lungs, but stopped eating them since I traveled and couldn’t continue with the transition. Could you help me with advice on what to give them so they eat meat and can leave the processed food?

For the raw diets would I be able to pre portion out my cats meals and freeze them? I don’t know if thawing them out would have a negative impact or what but I feel like I’d have a better chance of sticking with feeding my cats a raw diet if I can make their meals in advance, because one thing that’s held me to dry food is the convenience. Which obviously isn’t a good excuse to not feed my cats well

Do you use your iPad box as a case 3:05

I don’t understand all the extra taurine being added. There is sufficient taurine in dark turkey meat or in octopus. They don't need much

Thank you

Hi, My cat needs "Annallergenic' cat food, the only one I can find in by Royal Canin. Would these recipes be okay? It is so hard to get more information on Annallergenic foods

Thank you!!!

Cam you do a full video on how you make the cat foods? Raw and cooked please this video is kinda hard to understand how to make

Good advice

It is so hard to transition to RAW for my cat 😾 she love a sous vide chicken breast when it’s cooked but raw she won’t touch 😩. I wish there could be some cook food recipe that I could feed her with some added vitamins and supplements 🤔…

have you ever used EZ complete for raw cat food? would you recommend it?

Do you have any suggestions for cats that refuse to eat raw meaty bones for something that will still give them the dental benefit?

Question… Why can we not include cooked bones? If the bones are ground up is that a problem?

I have a question i hope someone is able to help: How do we deal with the bacterial infection risks for our cats with the raw meat and fish? I'd really like to feed raw but it's very hard to find flash frozen meat and fish. I have plenty of access to fresh protein. I also don't have a flash freezer. Can I freeze it beforehand and thaw it? Is that even safe? My cat has digestive issues related to Felv, and the vet recommended a raw diet for her specific situation, but i am trying to understand the risks associated with feeding homemade raw meals vs flashfrozen raw meals ordered from specific barf websites

One of my cats has really dry skin and has been scratching alot, in tryung just about everything to help her because we cant afford the vet right now, im hoping oatmeal baths and raw eating will help :[

My feral cat doesn't want to stay inside. I'm so tense about that.outside is too cold.I fed her from 4 months ago.

Jericho is ready for his close up! A veterinarian, who is against raw feeding and against grain free food, said that she has had to perform surgery to remove as many uncooked bones as cooked bones. There was no breakdown of dogs vs. cats.

I have 4 kittens that im trying to start feeding. They are still with the mother. I put a can of Purina friskies soft cat food in a bowl for them it was turkey&giblets dinner. Well they threw it all up in the form of soft food. The mother did not get sick. What type of brand of kitten food can i get that might be better for the 4 week old kittens?

I grind it up with the bone, cook it in a pot, and then put it in a blender to make a patte.

As i now understand it, anything out of the polluted sea is a no no due to polution and harmful minerals. Not sure if that true but i read all the tins. I dont feed them fish.

A very small amount of veggies is needed or some greens like cat grass because a wild cat eats the contents of the animals stomach so a small amount is appropriate

What I don’t understand is one feeding raw food to the cats how are we supposed to warm the raw food up?? The only thing I can think of is warming it up on the stove very quickly so that it doesn’t cook fully??? Please help.

Ive noticed all 3 of my cats are not too keen on the wet food. Its not easy to just switch and I've decided this is way better,! Thank you for all the info and the links❤

My cat eats 300gm meat every day.Sometimes I make eggs,chicken liver or chicken. She doesn't like lamb or mint flavour.

Your recipes are not for cats in Europe?

i don't know if anyone told you but you are really beautiful

Where are the recipes????

What about canned tuna?

I was wondering if its safe to give cats canned sardines?... Obviously without salt!

so frustrating...I live in Canada and have very limited access to good raw food. 🤨

What about salmonella?

I wish meat was cheaper here in Canada. :/

Seems like alot of work

Am I the only person who's cat refuses to eat so many foods... Believe it or not she was a stray and after 4 long years she now sleeps on my bed. She started off with dry food, then I went to canned food. One fine day, no more. I have tried all kinds of foods, she likes chicken hearts did like livers then decided no, likes human food more than their food. I did that because she just stopped eating her own stuff I made for her.

Raw chicken is toxic

cats aren't supposed to eat raw meats, or yeast

Any raw food is not good not even with anything healthy

Talking the recipe if we wanted write it down is not possible for me . Need a list posted
