A few weeks ago I asked about what to feed my cat. I came across an answer leading me to http://www.catinfo.org/ . Skeptic about it I still read and have gradually changed my cats diet. I was feeding them dry food and cheap canned food. I thought that if I saw a sale at the pet store it would be ok…a lot less expensive i thought.
Anyways, Its been two weeks since I have not fed any dry food(I still serve them a bit on a bowl just in case they don’t like their new diet but they don’t even touch it any more).
Since day one they liked raw chicken. I served them a bit at a time along with canned food. I have read the labels on every can at the store and got the best I can afford guiding myself with catinfo.org and a few people that advised me on what to look for.
I am not kidding. Their fur is shiny and very silky. Their poop is not smelly any more, or at least not as much and they seem very very energetic.
Finally, for my question: Im ready to change to an all raw meat diet and will finally try the recipe given on catinfo.org. The question is: How much should I feed my cats(how many oz a day). They are both around 9lbs and are a year old now.
I am very proud of myself for finding this new diet. I can tell by how they act with me and how happy they look playing with each other.

Purchase Fat Burning Diet

I have a Bearded Dragon and have read that vegetables are crucial to their balanced diet, but when I try to feed him collard greens sprayed with tap water he refuses to eat it. I have no problem feeding him live food (crickets, super meal worms). Are there any suggestions on a vegetable that he may prefer more than the collard greens? I have only tried the greens based on the advice of the guy at the pet store who sold him to me. Can I give him fruit, if so what kind of fruit?

I will be getting a small breed dog soon and I have been doing some research on dog foods. I would like to do the "home cooked" or "raw" food diet but I would like some more information on this.

-what are some recipes?
-can this be frozen to be used later(could I make all the meals for the week and freeze them)?
-how much does this cost?
-how much time does this take per day?
-How much should I feed the dog (also include how many times a day I should feed…keep in mind it is a small dog I would be cooking for)
-Would a raw food diet be better? (reasons why/recipes for this)…I would imagine that uncooked chicken would be bad…?( i know dogs are animals but they’re also domesticated)

I’ve looked into different kibbles and decided that Blue Buffalo would probably be best as it seems healthy, had good reviews, and is available at my local pet store…but I’m unsure of this as I would imagine that the raw/home cooked diet would be best
So a few questions I have about this are…

-would it be good to mix both the blue buffalo and the home cooked diet together (how much should I give of each)?
-If I was unable to give the home cooked meal would the Blue buffalo be ok for the week?
-what are your experiences with Blue buffalo (for small breeds)?

I want to feed what’s best for my dog but I also cannot afford to spend 60 dollars on a bag of dog food that will last me a month. (I did the math and blue buffalo should last me around 2.5 months for 30 dollars….plus I can get a discount on the food)

Please let me know your experiences for both and help me make the right choice for my dog

If I fed my dog fresh vegetables, selected fruits, and soy and egg products for protein; will he live just as long and healthily as any other dog on a pet store bought, "dog food" diet?

I just got a 7 week old kitten and started him on the regular cat chow. But after visiting a pet food store was persuaded into trying a Raw food diet simular the the BARF diet. He seems to like it but I am conserned about feeding my kitten raw meat! They told me at the pet store that grains were bad for cats because they weren't able to diggest them. I'm very confused can anyone shed some light?
