Hi Linda,
Thanks for dropping by American Fairy Tales. I think what you're doing is great. In fact, I've had both my cats on the BARF diet for 2 or 3 years now, and they are really healthy. The eldest, who is 10, is more active and kitten-like now than he was before going on this diet.
I've been on a non-processed, make it from scratch diet as well. It's scary how fit I've become just by dropping foods that contain artificial ingredients, especially the corn syrups and modified food/corn starches. Now, if I could only find free-range, grazing-only chicken and turkey.
Keep up the good work, people should know what they're feeding their pets. Just like we're poisoning ourselves much of the pet food out there is poisoning our pets.
