What raw meat does the cat feed?
1. Why do cats need raw meat?

Unlike dogs, cats are carnivores and need foods with high protein and low carbohydrate. The muscles and internal organs contained in raw meat are an ideal source of protein for cats, which contributes to the health of cats' digestive system. In addition, raw meat also contains vitamins and minerals that cats need.

2. What kind of raw meat is suitable for cats?

First of all, raw meat must be fresh and have qualified sources. Never buy raw meat of unknown origin or expired. Secondly, the types of raw meat suitable for cats are chicken, beef, mutton and fish. It is suggested to choose meat containing bones, which is helpful to the oral health of cats.

Pay special attention not to feed pigs to cats, because there are many bacteria and pathogens in pork, which can easily infect cats and lead to gastrointestinal diseases. At the same time, raw meat should be cooked to kill bacteria and parasites that may exist in it.

3. How to feed raw meat to cats

First, you need to wash the raw meat and blanch it with boiling water. This helps to remove bacteria and parasites from the meat surface. Then cut the meat into small pieces suitable for cats, and you can mix some cat food or other dietary ingredients to feed the cats. In addition, for the digestive health of cats, don't feed the liver too much, because the liver contains more vitamin A, and long-term excessive consumption will produce toxic reactions.

4. Are individual cats suitable for raw meat feeding?

Although eating raw meat can bring some benefits, not all cats are suitable for this diet. Especially some cats with low immunity, gastrointestinal diseases or pancreatitis are not suitable for feeding raw meat. In addition, the digestive system of young cats and old cats is relatively weak and needs to be cautious. If you want to try raw meat feeding, please consult a pet veterinarian and gradually introduce raw meat food to observe the digestion of cats.
