Dr. Jean, you're absolutely right, it IS dog food.

The store has one blend for cats.
I was so happy to find a raw pet food store near me here in northern CA using locally sourced meats, so I just went with it, with the help of the store...
Thank you, Dr. Jean, for all this great info!
The vet didn't do blood or urine that visit.
Do you think this kidney stone could have been caused by eating salmon and dried shrimp treats? Or eating dried treats in general, like chicken hearts? These have been her daily treats.
Do you think...
Dr. Jeff, it resolved. 🤞
I will get that Urinary Gold just to have on hand. And I'll make broth from some chicken legs I got her (that she didn't know quite what to do with!).
In re: your last email and Dr. Pitcairn's discussion of mindset -- I feel that, once again, she was picking up stress...
Thanks for your response, Dr. Jeff. 🙏
No recent pancreatitis episodes.
She got the ARS this morning.
Then I took her to the vet to see if maybe he could diagnose or take blood.
Her bladder was empty by the time we got there and I couldn't leave her for hours to wait.
He said it's either a UTI...
Note: She just ate some food. Her beef+tripe mix with added VitC, taurine and feline beast gut soothe.
But she is still making repeated trips to the litter. Sometimes actually peeing a bit.
And thinking back, the beginnings of this might have started a few weeks ago when I noticed her taking a...

Indoor cat but goes out on deck in catio
Woke me up at 4am tonight hearing her going repeatedly into the litter pan but...
Thank you again, Dr. Jeff. I got some chicken necks so will experiment.
About adding tofu to her raw meat mix, I kind of use it as a filler to stretch out the mix. So was wondering if that was OK nutritionally. 😺
Thanks, Dr. Jeff.
I eat salads and avocado and pasta and odd things -- nothing that appeals to her.
I'm not opposed to doing a home-prepared diet, if she'll eat it!
Her chewing is not great -- she has had teeth extracted and probably needs another one out right now so didn't think she could...
Has anyone found a prepared vegan food product or recipe that their adult cat really likes?
My 13 yr old cat has been eating raw meat for several years but her teeth are suffering. She's not up for brushing and I'm sure the sticky meat is sticking to her teeth.
So I'm considering going vegan (as...
Couldn't think of the right folder heading for this...
The question is about bringing my cat to stay at a friend's house while I take a short trip. I'm in desperate need for a getaway and my overnight petsitter is busy.
A friend has offered to take care of my 12 yr old cat (who hates getting...
I would say we're over the hump. Another Ars success story. Grateful beyond words to you, Dr. Jeff, and the magic of the remedies!
I also had to look at my own behavior the week before her relapse -- I had a week of extreme stress and fear that NO DOUBT affected Morticia, since she absorbs my...
After two doses yesterday of the Ars 6c, Morticia asked for food last night! She ate some SmallBatch turkey (tablespoon) and some freeze-dried treats. (And pooped/peed.) She was back to her loving self, cuddling with me all night and into the morning.
Then...I gave her some SmallBatch beef this...
