Tailoring diets usually happen when there is a health issue involved. Since you didn’t mention one – I assume this is not the case. There are general guidelines you can find online for creating a raw diet for a cat – and once you understand the basics you can tailor it to what the cat likes and dislikes. Other than going raw (raw meaty bones and raw meat) I don’t understand how you would ‘tailor’ a diet to an individual cat.
Learn more about a biologically appropriate diet for a cat by googling that, also BARF diets for cats, raw diets for cats, etc. And start reading a lot of books on the subject. I have been feeding raw to my dogs since the 90’s and I am still reading and learning about canine nutrition – every years that passes gives produces more information, better understandings of what our pets need to be happy and healthy.
Good luck.
This is normal in PA to a degree. The dog’s diet contributes to its attractiveness to flies more than any thing. I would check for ear infection(s) or bad teeth. Other than that all that can be done is to apply a repellant to the dog – and I would use a natural one that can be found at an Agway or other farm store. These repellents contain a mix of essential oils like cedar or peppermint, etc.
Thank you. I agree – unfortunately with their culture it will fall on deaf ears, I am just trying to do my best to help the pup. I was the one that gave him the bath, etc. Perhaps I can have her make a mask and meanwhile I will play around with some of my essential oils to create a repellant blend that will work and that the dog would be tolerant with. Thanks so much Krista and PK
PK….I normally use water in my essential oil blends for animals but seeing as the bugs are attracted to water, do you think I should use a carrier oil instead?
