Rowan Sanderson sits down with Dr. Brendan Clarke, Co-Host of Raw Pet Medics and President of the Raw Feeding Veterinary Society (RFVS) to discuss five tips and tricks to getting your cat used to a raw diet.

Pet food manufacturers often throw in extra ingredients that Rowan and Brendan refer to as “cat crack”: amino acids or salt that are added to their meals that make what would otherwise taste like mush enticing and addicting once a cat has had a taste.

This is why your cat is “fussy” when it comes to trying different foods. Be patient with them and work to gradually decrease their addiction to their regular meal because, as Rowan explains, you will literally be saving your cat’s life by switching them onto raw.
