When our cat Carmello was alive he became diabetic. We had to give him insulin twice a day. Well, Paul started him on a raw diet and for the last 7 years of his life he didn't need insulin. His blood sugars were consistently normal. He used to check it every day
My brother makes his own dog food for his dog but I don't know what he makes. He also makes dog bones (like Milk Bones)
We give out cats Crave. So many others have a lot of fillers in them.
