Shop Inter Mountain Raw: Pet Food Distribution Co.

Below is some information about formulating an easy-to-start raw feeding menu for your cat (using our product offerings)! 

Our **Variety for Cats ** takes into consideration your cats' overall diet needs while also providing variety of options including extra supplemental goodies. We include some additional ground blends for *extra variety*, quail eggs for nutrients not available in meat, bones or organs, raw goat milk for probiotics and salmon roe as a healthier alternative to fish oil.

You'll want to structure your cats' diet according to their: weight, activity level and body condition. In general, feed approximately 2-5% of cats’ body weight..

To calculate this, we take Your Cats' Weight x % of Body Weight = ? amount in lbs to feed daily.

• For example: 30lbs x .04 (4%) = 1.2lbs daily

Here's an introduction as to you could structure your meals over a month's period of time with the **Ground Blends for Cats**. (Disclaimer: The below information is simply a suggestion. Once you get the hang of formulating your pets' own diet, we suggest you feed as much variety as possible and also include other proteins/products not listed below)

1) 30% of diet: Beef Organ Blend

2) 20% of diet: Lamb + Pork Blend

3) 20% of diet: Rabbit Blend

4) 10% of diet - either or both: Chicken Blend and Turkey Blend

5) 10% of diet: Beef Green Tripe

6) 10% of diet - either or both: Salmon Blend and Oily Fish Blend

7) Top their meals with other whole food supplements such as Quail Eggs, Raw Goat Milk, Salmon Roe, etc.

How much do I order of the items included in the **Ground Blends for Cats Collection**?

• My 30lb cat who eats approx. 1.2 lbs daily would eat the following over one month's time - 36 lbs (1.2lbs x 30 days)
• Beef Organ Blend = 10lbs [To meet 30% of diet, you'll need at least 21.6 lbs (sold in 2lb packages) (To find this weight, 24lbs total over 30 days x .40 {40% of overall diet} = 9.6 lbs) - round up to the nearest lb = 10lbs]
• Lamb + Pork Blend = 8lbs (sold in 2lb packages)
• Rabbit Blend = 6lbs (sold in 3lb packages)
• Chicken or Turkey Blend = 5lbs (sold in 5lb packages)
• Beef Green Tripe = 4 lbs (sold in 2lb packages)
• Salmon Blend + Oily Fish Blend = 4lbs (sold in 2lb packages)

What your overall goal is to feed: 80% Muscle Meat- 10% Edible Bone- 10% Organ (with 50% of that 10% featuring mostly liver). You can meet this percentage structure daily or over the course of a few meals for a *balanced* diet. 

Adding in whole food supplements  – as you see fit for your cats’ individual needs!

Feeding VARIETY is crucial to balancing your pets' DIY raw diet! Each protein/whole food contains its own nutrient profile. So, feeding a little bit of everything, over the course of time, is how we maintain optimal health for our pets.

This is a great place to start! If you want to get particular, you could weigh everything out. Please adjust and feed according to your pet and your family’s individual needs If you’d like to further formulate a specialized diet, we recommend you connect with a feline nutritionist such as thru Perfectly Rawsome. If you’re ever concerned about your pet’s diet and the balance of nutrition in the way you’re feeding, we recommend a nutrition consultation with a feline nutritionist or raw-advocating and experienced veterinarian. We have some resources available here.

Please refer to our Price List to help sort out pricing for how much you'd need to feed your pet. You'll find other Sample Orders available on that page as well. Be sure to check out *BULK* discount options! You can order several month's worth and save $$$ by purchasing in bulk.
