Hit By A Bus Series - Dietary Update

So - we have done some significant dietary updates for the critter since Zoey got sick.  Thought I would document for the Hit By A Bus Series, well.....in case I get hit by a bus.

For the kitties - they are getting 1 can of Nature's Variety cat food divided into four portions.  They like Venison and Chicken.  They also like Lamb and Duck - they are not so hot on Rabbit.  They are also on the Nature's Variety Chicken dry food which I let them free feed on in their feeder.

Zoey gets one C-CAP supplement in 1/4 of a can of ID cat food each day (currently located in the master bath).  I close her in the bathroom and let her eat it undisturbed.  If the other kitties get the left overs its not an issue since its all natural.

Emma - she is on the Nature's Variety chicken dry dog food - free feed in her feeder.  She is eating one can of Nature's Variety Prairie Chicken and Brown Rice in the morning and 4 medallions of the Nature's Variety frozen meat - either chicken or beef.  Those I take out to thaw in the morning and put in her bowl mid afternoon.

Clooney - he is still transitioning to the Nature's Variety dry cat food.  He usually eats a mix of the old Iams cat food and the new Nature's Variety chicken.  Need to make sure he is actually eating if the Iams is not in there.  He still gets is tablespoon of Ferretone and his Ferret Chew Stick each day.

Nigel - he is still eating the ferret food.  He gets 2 dried crickets and 3 or 4 dried meal worms each day.

I have the canned cat food and canned dog food set up on recurring order with MrChewy.com.  I do not have the dry set up as of the time I type this.  I get the medallions for Emma from PetMania by the Harris Teeter.
