Hello, I am thinking of trying homemade cat food for our cat, Buddy.
Many years ago we had a cat with multiple allergies (chicken, fish and all the derivatives of these two) and stomatitis. I fed her homemade raw. I added her supplements individually, as we couldn't eve do egg shell powder for calcium.
I would like to us a supplement mix this time - my free time is very minimal and anything that can help with the time factor will be a blessing.
I would like to start Buddy out with cooked and then transition to raw (if its possible for him - if he will eat either).
He is allergic to chicken, so I can't use EZ Complete, as it has chicken liver powder.
I will need to look for non-chicken liver powder.
Any suggestions on alternatives?
I googled a few (I haven't looked into where they source their ingredients, etc. yet):

I googled a few (I haven't looked into where they source their ingredients, etc. yet):
- Superior Feline - they have one without liver powder, so I would have to add another type of liver powder (as well as fish oil).
- Know Better - they have one with beef liver. This supplement is from a Canadian company.
- I found this information on the web:
- For cats with constipation, Feline Instincts No Bones About It
- Alnturin with Calcium mixes are an ideal option. TC Feline also provides a bone-free special mix for cats with kidney problems.
- Feline Instincts - I can't see anywhere that they still make the No Bones About it
- Alnutrin - the have two version of "with Calcium", and one without that is assuming you are adding bone. I can't see anything about chicken liver powder - I will have to email them.
