Raw Food Diet Calculator for Cats

Raw feeding mimics a cat's natural diet and follows the 80/10/10 rule: 80% muscle meat, 10% raw meaty bones, 10% organs (half liver, half other). Feed 2-3% of body weight daily for adults, 5% for kittens. Our calculator provides exact portions and nutritional breakdown.

80/10/10 Raw Diet Explained

• 80% Muscle Meat: Chicken thighs, turkey, rabbit, duck, beef, venison - provides protein and fat
• 10% Raw Meaty Bones: Chicken necks/wings, quail, cornish hen - calcium and dental benefits
• 5% Liver: Chicken, beef, or lamb liver - vitamin A and nutrients
• 5% Other Organs: Kidney, heart, spleen - essential nutrients not in muscle meat

Benefits of Raw Feeding

Cleaner teeth (bones scrape plaque), shinier coat, better digestion, smaller stools, reduced allergies, more energy. Species-appropriate diet that mimics what cats eat in the wild.

Safety Guidelines

• Handle like raw chicken - sanitize surfaces, wash hands
• Never feed cooked bones (splinter risk)
• Transition gradually over 7-14 days
• Rotate 3-4 protein sources for nutritional variety
