    Recipe & Feeding Directions

    Following the Wild Prey Model Diet

                         
    We are trying to replicate the wild prey diet to that end we want a basic ratio:

    5% - Liver
    5% - Organ meats (other than Liver)
    10% - Bone (or equivalent in bone meal)
    80% - Muscle Meat

    That comprises our 100% animal product base.  Add to that the supplements including quality egg yolks, nutritional yeast, cod liver oil, fish oil, Vitamin C etc and you have a very healthy diet.

    10% bone can be achieved by providing whole prey such as feeder mice/rats or ground whole rabbit for one day a week.  If your cat leaves a lot of the bones behind add the bone meal to the raw mix.

    If you have access to quality raw milk from pastured goats or cows you can offer that to your cats as well.  We give this daily as a treat (see Pottenger’s Cats) and the cats not only love it, but it is great for them too.

    Pendraig Raw Mix Recipe

    Our recipe is similar to Catnutrition.org, but with IMPORTANT differences.  We feel reliance on psyllium husks is detrimental to the cat’s health.  Please see our article on Fiber vs. Probiotics at www.Pendraig.com.  Probiotics are crucial and very important to the cat’s wellbeing mainly because being an inside only animal with little or no exposure to the outside your cat cannot come into contact with, nor consume, essential probiotics that would be naturally abundant in the environment.

    Also feeding of poultry is far from ideal. Small non-domestic and feral cats in wild situations live off of primarily rodents, insects and reptiles.  Feeding more nutrient dense meat sources from ungulates and rodents such as rabbit and feeder mice is far superior to the nutrient scarce poultry.

    Base of Diet

    4 – 5 lbs raw muscle meat with max 10% bones.  Preferred meat sources:

    4 oz raw liver

    2 oz raw heart

    2 oz raw other organs

    Supplements/Additions

    16 ounces FILTERED water

    4 egg yolks

     

    Nutritional Yeast                                   

    Gelatin

    Bone meal

    Dulse & Kelp

    Glandular Supplement

    ADD to the diet DAILY when feeding:

    Cod Liver Oil/Butter Oil

    Salmon Oil/Fish Oil

    Primal Defense

    Prozyme

    Taurine

    Vitamin C Powder

    Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar

    Vitamin Supplement

    Lysine

     

    Preparation:

    Cut up the meat, bones, and organs into manageable pieces to fit in your grinder.  If you do not have a grinder use quality ground meat for 50% of the meat portion and add the chunks you have cut for the remainder.  Organ meats can be cut into chunk size pieces as well.  Grinders are inexpensive and you can even buy one that fits on a kitchen aid mixer or use your food processor.

    In a separate bowl add half the cold water and the gelatin; allow to bloom a few minutes while you boil the remaining water.  Combine and stir, allow to sit a few minutes to cool before adding to the supplement mixture.

    Supplement mixture – combine the supplements, eggs, and water/gelatin together and mix gently.  Then combine with the meat base and portion into freezer containers.

    Feeding Directions

    A Word of Caution

    Though we have researched nutrition, health and natural rearing we are not experts and we are not veterinarians.  We ask that you use common sense and judgment feeding your pets and if you are in doubt ask your HOLISTIC veterinarian, or regular veterinarian, for advice.  If you have concerns contact Pendraig Siberians IMMEDIATELY.

    If you cat is sick please contact your veterinarian for instructions.  We can offer you advice but not medical care.

    Cats suffering from IBD or other illnesses may require psyllium husks for a short term period until their intestines and inflammation calm down.  Please contact us if your cat is suffering from this or another illness before starting this regimen.

    This booklet is comprised of our advice and is not to be considered medical instructions.  We are not liable for any illness, death or other conditions your cat may experience.  Always consult your veterinarian before changing your cat’s diet or health regimen.
