Should I continue with raw food diet or Wellness/EVO canned?
I can manage to do the raw diet (it is more time consuming though, measuring all the muscle meat, bone content and organ content) but I like doing it because I know it’s healthy. Then there’s EVO/Wellness canned food that I am also considering. I can’t make up my mind. Both of my cats love either or. Which one should I do?

Why not do both
Wellness is good, but EVO just got bought by a different company who is using the cheap sources of ingredients now (by law they don’t have to put a notice on the can for up to 6 months). Check google online about the buy out. It just happened last month. They’ve already changed their production ingredients.
No brain-er here! RAW DIET is the best. Don’t get too caught up in all the measuring. It should all balance out at the end of the weeks diet. Remember cats need taurine in their diet. Taurine is an essential amino acid that can be found in foods like fish.
EVO/Wellness is a good substitute if you lack the time, however for optimal health the raw diet is best in the long run.
Even though it takes a long time, the investment you put into their food pays off with healthy, lively, long-living kitties that give you lots of love back. :)
Why not feed some of both? Unless you are totally sick of making the food. (In which case if you can afford it you could order from Feline’s Pride)
I see no reason why you can’t mostly feed the raw diet but sometimes feed a meal of canned. gives them some variety.
Another good canned food you could try as some more variety is Merrick. it has lower fat content than most of the other premium canned. they make Merrick Before Grain which is now formulated for a complete diet (used to just be all meat supplemental) and they also make their older kinds with silly names- – for example, a good one if your cats can eat beef is Cowboy Cookout. or occasionally Surf & Turf (beef and seafood) Or 2 poultry ones are Grammys Pot Pie and Turducken.
yet other choices are Blue Buffalo or Natures Variety, and you could occasionally feed the all meat game diets from Evanger, or Wysong Au Jus.
BTW The company who makes EVO (Natura) was just bought by P&G and they will no doubt lower the quality as they did with Iams. So if you think you want to feed some EVO better stock up now while the good EVO is still around.
