Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats.

Changed my views on pet food completely. Most allergies are FOOD all ergies. Try this guy's basic diet for a month and see what happens. You will be amazed. No more skin, eye, ear problems.

Here is the basic Cat recipe, but GET THE BOOK and READ IT. (lots more recipes)

2 cups water
1/2 cup of GRAIN (polenta, rice, oat, or mixed human cereal)
1 TBS oil or butter
1 egg
1 lb of fresh meat (2 cups ground turkey, lamb, chicken, beef)
2 TBS Health Powder*
scant tsp egg shell (dried, baked at 300 degrees for 10 minutes and ground)
5,000 IU vitamin A (cod liver oil - don't get it on you it stinks)
(tsp of grated fresh veg - carrot, spinach whatever)

Boil water, cook cereal - while still hot stir in egg and meat so it gets heated but not cooked to death add rest except fresh veg. This will keep in fridge for a few days - and is about 3 or 4 servings. Add the fresh veg when feeding. May take a few days for cat to eat it. The book explains about animal fasting. This does NOT hurt the pet. Predators in the wild often go days without eating. again read this book you may even change your own diet!

*Healthy Powder

2 cups nutritional (torula) yeast
1 cup lecithin granules
1/4 cup kelp powder
1/4 cup bonemeal (or 9,000 mg calcium, or 5 teaspoons ground eggshell)
