Oma Food

Oma’s is a raw food made for people who do not want to prepare their own raw

food.  It comes frozen from a distributor or a pet store that carries it

(see Michigan location’s below).  I copied a label and forwarded their own

page (see inserts) on how they came to produce clean pet food.  Some  of the

meat has veggies and bones and some you grind your own fresh fruit & veggies

in the blender and add it to it (1# of veg/fruit to 4# meat).  I get the

organs (heart & liver mixed) from Oma’s and add it to my own purchased meat

and veggies.  I just prefer making my own since I’ve been doing it for 14

years (long before it was “fashionable”).  To this you can add your own

supplements and know exactly what your dog or cat is getting.  It takes time and

work.  Feeding examples:  Teeghan (2yrs. old) is 63# and I feed her 2# of

raw meat per day.  Doogan (1 yr. old, still developing) is 85# and I feed

him 3 1/2# per day.

I recommend two different options to busy people who cannot commit to a

total raw diet, but still want to feed a “clean food” diet. Wellness (cost

efficient) or Timberwolf/Orjin type (more expensive) dry foods (rotating

flavors with each new bag) and add raw meat.   Timberwolf Quote: “If adding

fresh meats to your pet’s diet, deduct between 10 -20% of Timberwolf

Organics dry food formula and substitute with 10 -20% fresh meats of your

choice or other fresh proteins such as eggs.”  You just keep a few pounds of

ground turkey, ground chuck, chicken, pork, lamb steamed fish in your

freezer and pull some out to thaw as you need it.  Mix the meat with the dry

food and warm water.  This way, your pet is still getting some of the raw

food it needs! The other is Honest Kitchen products (see insert).  This is

dehydrated vegetables/fruit or alfalfa/veg that you re-hydrate and mix with

your own raw meat. A little expensive but REALLY clean and beneficial to

your dog or cat.

If you do change, do it slowly over 7 to 10 days, phasing out the currently

used food.
