By yesterday, I’ve already got a novel protein plan laid out for all the clans.
The Super Seniors at Bunny’s Place
Cow Mau – Cubgrub’s Duck, Monge’s Monoprotein Rabbit
Cleo – Cubgrub’s Duck, Monge’s Monoprotein Rabbit
Indy – Monge’s Monoprotein Rabbit
Ginger’s Catio (Ginger, Minnie, Smurfy, Rey, Robin, Lynx)
Everyone – Cubgrub’s Duck
The Girls
Tabs – Cubgrub’s Duck
Riley – Cubgrub’s Duck
The Porch People (Gerald, Creamy and Samantha)
Everyone – Monge’s Monoprotein Rabbit
Why Novel Protein? Not only can Novel Protein help alleviate allergic reactions in both cats and dogs, but it’s also less irritative for pets with sensitive digestions. Besides, novel proteins are mostly lean and clean meat which gives your pet a balanced nutrition and growth.
Novelty to the rescue. A “novel” protein just means a “new” protein your pet hasn’t eaten before. Whitefish, chicken and turkey are all common protein sources in cat food. If your kitty has developed a reaction to one of these, you can substitute some less-common meat such as venison, sardines, salmon and trout.
Rabbit is usually considered a novel protein provided it is uncommon in the diet of your pets. But for ours who are on Coco&Joe’s, they are already on rabbit regularly because Coco’s has a Rabbit Recipe (mixed with chicken).
So Indy is the only one who can have canned rabbit as his novel protein because Indy is still not back to the raw diet yet. Also, the Porch People, who aren’t eating raw yet.
Samantha is now on Primal Freeze-Dried (raw), maybe I will try her on other raw recipes while she is having her post-maternity stay with us.
For those who are interested, Cubgrub has pure Rabbit. We use it as well.
Next, I’m thinking of trying Cubgrub’s Quail for our Monsters.
This morning, Ginger and the Monsters ate Coco&Joe’s and Cubgrub’s Rabbit. Sapu habis!
