Has anyone come across or used Rawtogo online, based in Abergavenny? Any user feedback would be much appreciated.

After exploring online I'm now thinking a dry only or majority diet would be not the best option.

Dry only would not be a great diet in my opinion. Dry food leaves a cat dehydrated and playing catch up as they would normally get all their needed moisture from food... They are not normally good drinkers.... An all dry diet is strongly linked to developing kidney issues in later life.

Dry food is really only ever for the convenience of humans.


I have used raw to go before... It was my belief that their raw food is not a complete food for cats though I'm not sure if this is still true. Natures menu and natural instincts are complete raw foods for cats.

"Raw to go" provides a collection of raw meats, they are not providing balanced complete diets.

The raw diet needs to be carefully balanced nutritionally, with an emphasis on good food hygiene, if the cats are going to be healthy.
It is easy to get things wrong and for the cats to suffer consequences.
Unless you are prepared to do some research into raw, and be quite obsessive about it and know a lot about and accept the risks, then a good quality dry diet supplemented with good quality wet cat food is best IMO.

Personally the risks posed by the bugs present in raw food, makes raw feeding a complete no-no for me.
It is however possible to cook the raw diet, with no loss of nutrition and that would be my advice to anyone contemplating abandoning proprietary cat foods. (Obviously chunks of cooked bone can be bad for animals so that would need to be considered)

Thanks for tge advice, both. I've just read the whole sticky on raw, so I'm getting a much better understanding of the pro's, con's & methods. It'll be a few months probably before kittens arrive, so we are trying to learn as much as we can before hand so we can come up with some kind of plan.
