Of course you'd have to ask your vet, but I only ask because I know all their kibble has a small amount of raw freeze dried coating on each piece of kibble, so maybe they could still get the benefits from raw that way?? Idk though, you'd have to check. |
I didn't read all the testimonials, I'll have to go back and search for it. The lady at the NV said that I could use Prairy kibble, but to check with my vet first
Will do, but with a nutritionist vet. I made the appointment for the 14th. Hopefully, she'll help me with this.

While I'm not suggesting that this is a good option, if you are set on feeding raw, prey model with extremely reduced fat may be an option (could be formulated by a veterinary nutritionist, but some of them are really against it, so it's not their favorite thing to formulate...). Even then though, with raw chunks of meat, the fat may be difficult to pick off. So it could still be risky. |
I don't think that I'll risk it with the prey model, it's too scary for me that I could make Nicky's condition worse
I'll wait to see what the nutritionist-vet tells me, hopefully there's a way around it.
