Warning

Before you decide to make your own cat food, check with your pet's veterinarian, especially if your pet has an existing health problem. In addition, some animals are allergic to specific foods or they have difficulty digesting certain grains such as brown rice. Working with your vet to tailor-make a pet's diet will improve your favorite feline's life and digestive health.
