Title: Rad Cat & IBD

At Rad Cat we don't use ground bone from our products. While we agree that chewing on raw bones is extremely beneficial for cats and dogs, ground bone can be difficult to digest for cats with inflammatory or irritable bowel diseases. Ground bones can provide some roughage and be challenging to the digestion. While this may be fine for healthy cats, in general, often it is too challenging for cats with digestive issues and can exacerbate their symptoms.

Interesting, esp. when you consider that raw is very helpful in improving or even eliminating IBD.

I assUme they are just wanting to explain away not using real bone...with something that sounds/is acceptable.   

As long as I am not making raw totally from scratch... RadCat will stay in the rotation.  :)

Rad Cat is is a good choice for cats who shouldn't have bone, because of kidney disease or urinary tract disease, too.
