So far I have made the turkey recipe and the chicken recipe, both were a hit with my kitty! The video is of the very first time he had the chicken recipe with this premix the day we adopted him and brought him home. Before eating the homemade food he was on kibble at his foster home.
His coat is nice and shiny and he is very healthy after a month of being on the food!
The Real test is if my cat will eat it. She will not eat it. Sorry.
I buy 6 canisters at a whack and would love to not throw all that plastic away..I transfer mine into a container and would be happy to buy bigger amounts in a Ziploc type bag.
2 of my 3 cats love it and their belly accepted the change unexpectedly quick, so glad, we are still on the transition with 1 cat, anyone has suggestions for the 3rd cat, she vomits. I prepare their food quick and easy.
Thank you Holistic Vet Blend.
I love the ease of giving me cats all the nutrients they need without having to mix up multiple vitamins. My cats love the taste. Only downside is if I run out of time to cook for them or get meat for them, they don't like commercial made food anymore.

This is a quick start recommendation for feeding your cat or kitten. You have to find a place to start, make a transition and adjust as needed. Monitor appetite and body condition to determine next steps and consult with your veterinarian when in doubt.
Feline weight in pounds:
2-4 pounds feed ¼ to ½ cup
4-6 pounds feed ½ to ¾ cup
6-10 pounds feed ¾ cup
10-15 pounds feed ¾ to 1 cup
15-25 pounds feed 1 to 1 ½ cups
Cats and kittens over 6 months of age can be fed once daily. If you chose to feed two daily meals I would recommend feeding 2/3 of the food in the morning and 1/3 of the food in the evening.
One canister contains enough premix to make meals for one month for the average cat.
Yes, we recommend the Feline Blend for kittens; if adding egg add the shell as well for additional calcium.
No. You should prepare the recipe in its entirety and add the premix last and mix in well.
Make sure you download our free cookbook and check out our YouTube channel. All recipes can be prepared on the stove or in a pressure cooker or slow cooker. We also have raw recipes.
After cooking, the prepared diet can be refrigerated for 4 days. If feeding raw, the diet should be frozen in servings for up to 4 months and thawed out for each feeding thereafter. Cooked food can be refrigerated for up to 6 months.
The product was developed by a PhD animal nutritionist and a veterinarian.
The product is made in a facility that only uses ingredients fit for human consumption (no feed-grade ingredients). The product is manufactured in California.
A certificate of analysis is provided for each batch. The individual ingredients as well as the final batch are tested for bacteria (Salmonella, coliforms, E. Coli, Staph Aureus) and fungal pathogens, lead, mercury, and arsenic.
We recommend water or homemade broth or bone broth without salt added. Although rare, onion and garlic powder should be avoided as these can cause anemia.
Although many pets have done very well on raw diets, each individual pet and their family has different needs. AVMA does not recommend feeding raw diets due to the risks of exposure to zoonotic risks (spread of Campylobacter or Salmonella) to humans. Use proper hygiene, especially if there are immune-compromised individuals in the household.
Do not use raw eggs in the feline formula.
