I started using wellness grain free wet food, which they will eat after a sitting on the plate a while, and frozen raw chicken nuggets from Northwest Naturals, which one of my cats will eat after it sits in the bowl a while. The nuggets are pretty cool, they come frozen in a bag, and have additional vitamins in there like Taurine to make nutrionally complete. I also am switching to nature's variety grain free kibble, since my cats are addicted to kibble. It has a coating of raw meat. I have to mix a little with what they're eating now, because a total switch before didn't go so well. So gradually I'm working on it. I'm lucky that a great pet store is near me which stocks these kinds of foods. As far as table scraps, the cats are picky. Sometimes they eat them, like cooked turkey or grassfed ground beef, and sometimes they won't. Hey Scott, love your blog.

I definitely agree with going to more of a raw diet, but I forgot to mention that there is another option for those afraid of the risk of pathogens or bones: a cooked meat diet. Raw meat is better, but cooked meat is still a better option than commercial, grain-laden foods. I'm going to put together a follow-up to this post to describe a few more things I've found through my research into proper diet for my dog. Hey Carol, thanks for stopping by.
