@MJW yes... You were the main reason I started to research it. Only, I had to find a place to ship it because they sell it nowhere near me. I forgot to tag you in that last night! I was looking at the Lamb, but all of them come in below the 200mg, correct? I have been food shopping per your recommendations, actually... lol
You found someone to ship it? An online seller? Please share.
The radfood.com website lists the nutritional values for the different proteins. I worry about prion disease in venison.
I converted the chicken and lamb to mg phosphorus per 100 kcal, but I might have made mistakes. I will review those notes before I share them. I am sure the choices are all less than 200mg per 100 kcal. Radfood changed its packaging and nutritional charts in the middle of my investigation, so my notes are a mess.
I would try a small amount first to see if Pig will eat it. Yum actually INHALED the lamb immediately, after refusing everything but Fancy Feast. The lamb has some carbs. Eventually I realized the red meat gave her diarrhea and I switched her to chicken.
The radfood website offers advice on how to break up the food. They mention ice cube trays. I'm afraid I'm going through about 26 oz a day at the moment for ravenous Yum and 2 civvies, so I don't need to worry about leftovers in the containers! Bwahaha. I weigh out the portions.
I did portion everything out for my petsitter and the vet boarding facility over the holidays. I bought little BPA free plastic containers at Target, but baggies might have been sufficient. I let a container thaw on the counter for about an hour until the meat could be penetrated with a dinner knife. (The website says it can just be "crunchy".). Then I dug out portions with the knife and a spoon into the containers. I weighed everything out on the baby scale that I use to weigh Yum. Then I put the portions back in the freezer. It was really hard work, hard on my hands. It took days. If I ever leave town again, I would buy the 8 oz containers to make the task easier or to actually make the task unnecessary. But the larger containers are cheaper.
I had the sitter thaw containers overnight to be served thawed when she visited the next day. I had her put more, frozen, into timed feeders that would open 12 hours later. And I had her put those on little blue ice blocks. I'm afraid when I am home I leave the food out for the civvies for 12 hours at a time. I won't be able to do that in the summer. Yum gets food now after every ear poke. It's very wet. I mix her supplements into it. I actually still portion out all a day's food in a production line once a day. I add the supplements when I do the portions and put everything in the little containers.
My vet doesn't like me feeding raw. My current supplier is selling me containers that have frosty ice on top of the meat. I am a vegetarian and I am worried whether they are handling it perfectly. So far no food poisoning. It's all so disgusting, but there's nothing I won't do for the cats.
