Just FYI as I'm finding out. Catsmom21 can add to this as she is expert in this field vs amateur me LOL.
But if your cat has ANY & I mean ANY slight chance of compromised kidney function/staging failure, etc. please avoid, but I've no alternative yet to replace this should Igain feed commercial grade raw. No way I'll ever feed canned tho unless under duress.
Well that's part of the problem with losing Rad Cat. All the others use bone or bone meal. I have only one out of three cats who can eat bone, but I wouldn't want her to have it with every meal, or even every day. I have about a 2 month supply left. I keep hoping they'll find a way to start back up before I run out.
A lot of commercial raw products are a bit too bone heavy for cats. There is a way to dilute the bone content if needed. You need to know the exact ratios of course, and the manufacturer can tell you that info.
How to dilute bone content in preground mixes with too much bone:
Using their rabbit for an example... bone content is 10%. That is within the normal 80/10/5/5 range. With that said, it can be too much for many cats though. As Catsmom said, that % can be lowered.. if you wanted to do the work.
For ME, the bone content would be the least of my concerns. I would consider Primal a good raw for cats, IF the ingredients list stopped at "Rabbit Hearts."

veggies?
fruits?
Montmorillonite clay!
Honestly, I would feed a canned food first. Less pricey for similar carpy ingredients.

Well as you know her phophorous level is bit low. But using bone to bump it up isn't the best idea, no? I bet you'd agree & no way to trust me exacting ratios. I'm too inept, hehee.
So just bringing this up as the thread may help others too & maybe I can figure out ways to increase phophorous healthily.
