Homemade Kitten Food: Pros And Cons Of Using Homemade Kitten Food

By Scott O. Evans

Let's begin with the downside of using homemade kitten food and then go to the positives.

Making your own homemade kitten food will take you more time then simply opening a bag or can of kitten food. There is nothing simplier then pouring premade food into your kittens bowl. Making your own food will reguire you to spend time making it every few days.

On the other side, the more used to making homemade kitten food you are the less time it will take you to make it and it has been proven that the more your cats diet resembles his natural diet in the wild, the healthier and longer your cat will live.

In the beginning, making your own kitten food can be more costly. A kittens diet consists of raw meat and vegetables.

It will actuall cost you less money in the long run. When your kitten gets the right amount of nutrition he will be sick less often. That means that you will spend less on vet bills. You still need to get your friend his shots but the sick vet bills will be greatly reduced. Your kitten will also eat less when he is properly feed.

You also need to make sure you do your homework. Cats have allergies to some of our food and some of are food is even poison to them.

Garlic, onions, and tomatoes are poison. Cats should not eat any thing that is in the same food group as onions and garlic. Kittens are also lactose intolerant and where as it won't kill them it will make them sick and that would defeat the purpose of feeding your cat homemade food.

Like all things, when you know the rules and follow them, it becomes easy to do.
