Why Raw Feeding is Purr-fect for Your Cat

Why Raw Feeding is Purr-fect for Your Cat

Curious about raw feeding for your cat? You’re not alone. More and more pet parents are exploring natural diets for their feline companions - and for good reason. At Go Raw, we believe in simple, species-appropriate nutrition that mirrors what cats are designed to eat.

In this article, we’ll break down the benefits of raw feeding, how to transition your cat, and which of our products are most popular among even the fussiest felines.

Why Feed Your Cat Raw?

Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning their bodies need meat to thrive - not grains, fillers, or artificial additives. A raw diet provides:

  • Improved digestion – Fewer tummy upsets and better litter box habits.
  • Shinier coat and healthier skin – Thanks to natural fats and amino acids like taurine.
  • Better dental health – Raw textures help clean teeth and reduce plaque.
  • Increased energy and vitality – Many owners notice happier, more playful cats.
  • Reduced allergies and sensitivities – Especially when eliminating processed ingredients.

How to Transition Your Cat to Raw Food

Cats are creatures of habit - so the key is patience. Here’s our gentle approach to transitioning your cat to a raw diet:

  1. Start slow
    Begin by mixing a small amount of raw into their usual food - about 10% raw to start.
  2. Increase gradually
    Over 10–14 days, slowly increase the raw portion while reducing their old food.
  3. Serve fresh
    Most cats prefer their raw food at room temperature, not cold from the fridge.
  4. Try different proteins
    If your cat snubs one flavour, don’t give up! Rotating between beef, chicken, and veal can help you find what they love.
