What i do is feed Daisy-cat and Cash-pup twice a day (wet both for cat,
dry in am for Cash then wet and dry for his dinner). They also get a
nooner 'noshe' of home made bone broth. I just save up the chicken bones
and such, put in crockpot and make broth (remove all bones before
feeding). He gets about 1/2 cup, Daisy gets 2-3 TB. Before this Cash was
on some pretty expensive arthritis meds and things. Now vet has taken
him off all of them and he's running about like a puppy. Took time but
it worked.

It would work better and save you time by just feeding them the raw
bones. Cooking destroys the nutrients which is why kibble is garbage.
You see? Even you admit that their commercial food is causing medical
problems and that would not have happened if you were feeding raw bones
to begin with.

Char, Char, Char. You've missed your calling. You ought to be a
fiction author, perhaps of children's books. Where do you see the OP
saying that commercial food was causing medical problems?

Char seems to believe that making broth of bones (thick conssome) and
feeding it to pets is not her version of 'raw' so must be bad? In fact
Cash-pup and Daisy-cat had joint issues that worked best with a cooked
broth. Char now says this is proof of her 'raw diet' deal. It's not. It's
about pure simple sense and using what they need for a simple added thing.

I have 2 rescue pets, both with 'issues'. Daisy-cat doenst have medical
ones so far but we know rhew broth mode which has her drink more works with
cats. I've had cats for 30 years. They generally develop health issues
from lack of water in their diet. As to Cash-pup, I figure if our home bone
broth helps me and my husband, it couldnt hurt the dog and it didnt.

Raw bones will not help Cash. A more natural version of chondritin and
glucosamine from cooked bones and the joint cartilage do. Besides, they
*like* it. Grin, I can spare 5 mins every 2 weeks or so to make it up for
them. Heck, we eat more of it than they do so it''s just as much for us as
them.
