1. What is the Raw Cat Food Recipe Calculator?

The Raw Cat Food Recipe Calculator helps pet owners create balanced raw food meals for their cats by calculating precise ingredient amounts based on recommended proportions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ \text{Ingredient Amount} = \left(\frac{\text{Ingredient Percentage}}{100}\right) \times \text{Total Feed} \]

Where:

\( \text{Ingredient Percentage} \) — The percentage of each component in the recipe
\( \text{Total Feed} \) — The total amount of food to prepare in kilograms

Explanation: The calculator distributes the total feed amount according to the specified percentages for each ingredient category.

3. Importance of Balanced Raw Food

Details: A proper raw cat food diet should contain approximately 70% muscle meat, 10% bone, 10% secreting organs (like kidney), 5% liver, and 5% other ingredients (like vegetables or supplements).

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total amount of food you want to prepare, then adjust the percentages for each ingredient category. Ensure the total percentage equals exactly 100%.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why are these specific proportions recommended?
A: These proportions mimic the natural prey diet of cats, providing the right balance of protein, calcium, and other nutrients.

Q2: Can I adjust the percentages?
A: Yes, but maintain the total at 100%. Significant deviations may create nutritional imbalances.

Q3: How often should I feed this to my cat?
A: Adult cats typically need 2-4% of their body weight daily, divided into 2-3 meals.

Q4: Should I add supplements?
A: A balanced raw diet with proper proportions usually doesn't need supplements, but consult your vet.

Q5: How should I store the prepared food?
A: Freeze in meal-sized portions and thaw as needed. Use within 2-3 days when refrigerated.
