  • Home-cooking again; deboning this time.

    I joined Andi Brown’s FB exchange on homecooking for pets (actually it’s for dog recipes) and learnt that we should not give cooked bones, even if it is ground. The reason is that even finely ground bones would have sharp fragments and also cooked bones has no more nutritional value. So, this evening, I steamed…

  • Homecooking for our pets – the debate about bones

    I refer to my post http://animalcare.my/2012/03/02/restarting-on-the-home-cooked-food-again/ There will always be an ongoing debate about feeding bones to your animals. Here’s what I have gathered, though I strongly urge you to seek expert advice before feeding bones to your animals. The below is only a sharing and is by no means, nutritional advice. 1. Raw bone is…

Recently, Ofie, one of the community cats looked after by Connie and her two…
