i second Sarahl's suggestion. and if you want...you can cook pet food. i do. brown rice, bones, mixed veggies (tomatoes, green beans, carrots, potatoes..they come canned like that). my cats eat that also. and i add fish to theirs. lots of garlic also. makes it smell really yummy. i even cook up a lot and freeze it...less messy. less work. i don't give the animals the bones, they are for the calcium and i add omega fish oil capsules, calcium tabs and vitamin e.
