RAW DIET: MATTERS OF THE BONE
Back to Index

On the subject of bones... it's cooked bones of any type (beef, pork, chicken, etc.) that are dangerous and splinter. Raw bones, are the ONLY type of bone to feed. I think beef/pork/lamb (all the larger mammal bones) really don't get eaten or ground - they are simply used as chewing things. I am simply staying with what I feel would be fairly natural or as natural as possible for a domestic-sized cat. I am primarily using ground chicken/bone, and will soon be adding ground bone in rabbit. I have also used duck. I am not using beef, lamb, pork, or any large mammal and I do not use turkey, as I understand those bones are too large and tough to be properly ground. I have and will use turkey meat, but must add some sort of calcium supplement to it.
