We made the switch to an all Raw Diet over 5 years ago and haven't looked back. All of our kittens are raised on a completely raw diet from 4 weeks of age. Our litters are stronger, livelier and are more advanced with walking, standing and zooming around their birthing nest after being born.

I will admit, it was tough at first, but with the proper knowledge and a little bit of time your family feline will reap the rewards and so will your pocket book. Plus, we know exactly what goes into their bodies and can streamline their diet for a healthier Maine Coon. ReallyCoons is 100% dedicated to helping new owners of our fur-babies to make the switch. We provide about a week worth of food and our own recipe to all kittens or cats that leave our home. We absolutely do NOT recommend any type of kibble. I will openly speak with clients on how our cats were on high quality wet food, freeze dried raw and kibble. It wasn't until I had a pet boy of mine that had a blood allergy panel completed, that I was in total shock on how many things he was allergic to. This same boy ended up having an intussusception at a year and a half old. Little did I know he was allergic to so many things in what he was being fed daily. Beef, fish, egg, wheat, yeast and rabbit. Mixed fish is in almost everything, along with his favorite cat treats. Rabbit is always recommended in limited diets for cats with allergies. After almost seven inches of his intestines being removed, I knew we had to change things. My mother and I started researching anything and everything we could along with joining groups that fed only raw food. Along the path, we found a wonderful nutritionist Carol who helped fill in some missing questions we had. We learned that the proteins he was allergic to were very different in raw form. Packages say chicken/fish meal or byproducts... meaning beak, feathers, feet, scales or other parts cats don't naturally eat in the wild. Since our switch to raw, our boy can eat beef, egg and other proteins he couldn't eat in canned or kibble. 

One of the biggest concerns people have about feeding raw is salmonella, parasites, worms, bacteria, etc. We do actively have PCR's completed on our cats and have never had a single positive test result nor a cat ever get sick from our food. We take all precautions when preparing our food. There are a few easy steps to abide by when feeding raw. We never thaw in warm water, heat our food in any way or leave our meat in the refrigerator for more than three days and we make sure to freeze our food for at least three days prior to even feeding.
