Raw feeding dogs and cats is not the same because cats are obligate carnivores requiring a strict meat-based diet, while dogs are omnivores that can handle a more varied, vegetable inclusive or often pre-mixed diet. Cats require higher protein and specific nutrients like taurine, while both share the need for high quality balanced raw meat, bone, and offal.

​

Key differences and considerations include:

Nutrients needs: Cats need a diet focused on high fat and high protein (muscle meat). They can not utilize nutrients from vegetables effectively, unlike dogs which can digest plant-based matter for fibre.

Formula differences: Commercial raw dog food often includes vegetables or fillers. Raw cat food should be more focused on meat and due to their size, require more finely ground meat and bone.

Safety concerns: Both diets carry risks of bacterial contamination (Salmonella, E Coli). Raw feeding is not recommended for pets with suppressed immune systems or chronic diseases like kidney or heart dysfunction.

Prey model vs BARF: While both can follow a similar 80-10-10 (meat, bone, offal) ratio, , cats have zero need for fruit and vegetables or grains, which are sometimes included in dog diets. 

​

While some components overlap, using specialized species appropriate formulas is recommended to ensure proper nutrient balanced diet.

​

Raw feeding cats involves a species appropriate diet of raw meat, bone and organs, typically following an 80% meat, 10% bone and 10% organ (including 5% liver) ratio. This diet is aimed to mimic natural prey, potentially improving digestion, dental health and coat quality.
