    How as in how we make it I assume? We go for 10% offal, 5-7% bone and the rest muscle meat (ensuring a decent amount of heart), we also add a small amount of salmon oil. We sometimes grind, sometimes the meal is just chunks and a chicken wing tip. There are lots of recipes online, you can get ready made ones like natural instinct, they are a little bone heavy (10%) so you have to add a small amount of muscle meat to each meal.

    We do occasionally feed a bird/mouse which makes that days meal 60p.

    She was weaned onto raw, we haven't found it hard to move cats onto raw though.
