Hi Samster,

I don't feed my cats a raw diet, so I can't really help you, but I will pass on something that I learned recently when my cat, Voodoo, was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy. I learned that this used to be a common disease until commercial food was supplemented with taurine. Now it is rare (my cat does not have a taurine deficiency, so why she has this disease is not clear). The veterinary cardiologist told me that he hardly ever sees this disease in cats any more except those that are fed a raw diet.

My point is that you should consider taurine supplementation if you feed raw. Hopefully some of the people with experience in raw diets will have some suggestions regarding this issue.

Good luck,
-----
