Should I feed my cat a raw food diet? How to introduce it safely?

Question

Can i give my cat a raw food diet? And how should i introduce it so that he would not get diarrhoea?

Dr. Macartney, BVet Med, MRCVS · Accepted Answer

I don’t recommend raw food diets as they can be very difficult to formulate, balance and also to safely provide without risk of gastrointestinal infection from contaminated meat. I would suggest a home prepared diet if you are interested in avoiding mainstream packaged food brands. Here is a link explain what a Home prepares siet it. There is also a source which will help you formulate a home prepared diet. https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-create-a-balanced-homemade-diet-for-your-pet/ For any diet change, we recommend slowly switching over to the new food by adding increasing amounts of the new food to the old food during meal times over a week.
