I have to keep our daily routine as simple as possible.  It is safer for the pets.  :)

Being paranoid... I was thinking of adding extra taurine to the mixture.   
I don't plan on having any of the meals frozen longer than 6 months.  In fact, the time frame will probably be MUCH shorter.  But if I have extra money or freezer space... I would likely want to stock up. 

It is the supplements effectiveness and frozen time frame that has me scratching my head.

Can you add the extra taurine right before you feed it?  I don't think you can "overdose" them on taurine - it's an amino acid.  You might want to Google it, though, just to be sure.

Half of what I read (from fairly reliable sources) state that NO supplements are needed.  80/10/10 has everything needed.  The other half (from fairly reliable sources ;) ) say that they are needed.  Maybe I will just leave well enough alone...

There are poop issues (for some) with the Hare-Today mixture.  I'm assuming the meat/bones/organs ratio is out of whack. 
If I had one (or maybe two) cats/dogs, it wouldn't be such an issue.  I could adjust as needed.  With 7.. what works for one, doesn't always work for another.  I am just not going to serve a specific meal for this one and another kind of meal for another.  We would never be able to keep it all straight for 3 meals a day.  If that makes me a slacker... so be it.
I already have Rad Cat in the rotation every 4th day.  I just ordered Stella And Chewys and Honest Kitchen dehydrated foods (chicken and turkey varieties only) to add to our rotation schedule.  My hope is that a variety will keep them all on track.  fingerscrossed

Variety never hurts!
