Post Your Pets

I quite often buy lambs hearts that have been reduced in tesco. Three for less than a pound. The cats and dog LOVE it. It has lots of chewy grizzly bits to give their teeth and gums a good work out. Thinking of getting a mincer/blender thingy to chop up chicken wings so I can include bone as well as meat.

Lamb's hearts are good because they are a source of taurine, which is important for cats. We used to blend the meat & bones that we feed our cats, but now we don't bother, they both just crunch the bones up quite happily.

It's worth noting that cats are *obligate carnivores, *i.e. have stomachs that are adapted to only meat. They shouldn't really be getting grains or other stuff. The only vegetables they would get in the wild would be whatever was in the stomach of the small birds & mammals that they caught.

Vets are not necessarily a good source of diet advice, as they are compromised by their association with the pet food industry.
