What is raw feeding?

Raw feeding means feeding your cat uncooked meat, bones and offal, the way nature intended it. A complete raw cat food diet is meant to replicate a natural cat’s diet. This is also called a ‘BARF’ diet, which is an acronym that stand for Biologically Appropriate Raw Food.

The idea behind raw feeding is that it’s very similar to what a cat’s diet would have been if they lived in the wild. Small wild cats tend to hunt & eat rodents and other small mammals, birds, fish, insects, and even reptiles. A BARF diet mimics these foods with the real thing or suitable alternatives.

The Benefits of a Raw Cat Food Diet 

Feeding your cat raw food can significantly improve their health and well-being. Cat owners who raw feed often report the following benefits:

• Better dental health
• Improved weight control
• Improved digestion
• Reduced poop quantity and stool odor
• Healthier coat & less shedding
• Increased mobility
• Reduced allergy symptoms (e.g. itchy skin)
• Less visits to your vet

What’s more, your cat will love you for it! Cat’s love raw meat. It’s what they’ve evolved to consume, and their entire system is designed to hunt, catch and digest raw prey.

As carnivores, cats actually need meat to survive. They don’t need vegetables or carbohydrates. Like their wild ancestors, brothers and sisters, they thrive on high-meat content foods that are rich in amino acids like taurine, fatty acids and other essential vitamins and minerals.
