Soul Raw

08/21/2023

Just a reminder to those customers who are trying to make chicken batches at home.. raw must be nutritionally balanced with 80% muscle meat (heart is a muscle meat), 10% bone and 10% secreting organ (can be only liver but must be a minimum of 50% liver).

Please refer to my article on page 27 for an easy recipe, or please contact me with any questions and I will advise as I can. I do not want to hear of any cats getting nutritional deficiencies due to lack of knowledge/info!!

One of vets biggest concern or issues with raw is usually that pet owners will only feed breast and assume it’s balanced. Chicken breast is low in taurine like rabbit, so it is advised to use dark working muscles like thigh meat instead.

Soul Raw will be closing down indefinitely.

I appreciate all the people I have met, and it was an honour to help cats thrive the way nature intended. 🥰

I still feel there is a huge gap in the market for whole prey and whole prey ground raw, but need space to figure out my next chapter.

I have always promoted variety in conjunction with my raw, but to those who need a couple orders to transition, I will try my best to assist, and advise other potential suppliers.

We are still limiting whole prey day old chick stock due to the shortage after the avian flu (**supply is limited until the next restock), but have lots of ground quail/chicks available.

On a fun note, the new breeding stock has provided us with multicoloured DOC!

Olette in Etobicoke looks forward to her raw deliveries. 😍 She is a chicken lover but also enjoys to steal anything her human is eating.. including pasta and tomato sauce. 🤪

Love seeing my furcustomers enjoy their food!! 💕💗💕

I believe variety is key to achieve optimal nutrition and stimulation (especially with whole prey where you are getting all organs and fur/feathers), and what better way that a cats most natural catch - a rodent.

These grinds are great for cats that wouldn’t eat whole prey otherwise (or humans that can’t handle dealing with it). Where I find my cats would prefer a jumbo mice versus a similar sized rat, most of them (even those that wouldn’t touch either whole) enjoyed ground rat.

For cost many customers will feed a 50%+ base of ground chicken, and then mix and match variety based on their cats preferences.

A well loved toy at its last legs. 😂❤️ Although the centre (mylar) will last and still be super fun because of the fluttering and sound.

**We recommend removing rod toys after a play session to limit destruction**

When we say day old quail we mean it! 😜

A popular snack for a lot of our kitty customers. We also carry 5-7 day old quails and adult quails for the more advanced cats to work their jaws. Ask for bulk pricing, and the complete raw menu!

We had been back ordered with day old quails, but they were definitely worth the wait for one of our newest customers - Flynn from Brantford. Such amazing stimulation for his jaw and mind.. not to mention complete nutrition. 😍

I hope you enjoy all the goodies your mama got you!

That first taste of Soul Raw chicken on his weight management journey. 😍🥰 Gotta get fit to be ready for playtime with his new spotted kitten later this year. 🐱

Thank you for sharing Suzanne!

Shak & Bhavya in Downtown Toronto are growing up so quick!

Love the feedback!! So far ground rabbit and rat has been a hit overall. Due to new sourcing, I have slightly decreased the price of my rabbit grind.

02/16/2021

Fully stocked with frozen rodents. 😻

Quality sourced and quick stock turn around to keep it fresh!

(Instagram) is owned by Carly in Etobicoke! He is transitioning to raw after a lot of dietary issues, and we hope to hear him thriving soon!

Dehydrated rabbit ears is great fibre to support digestion and a great source glucosamine for joint health. -love that purr!

Ground duck coming soon! 😁🦆
Our seasonal whole frozen 3 week old chickens will also be added to our regular menu (around the same size as adult quails, and an even bigger hit with some customers versus our day olds).

Duck is great for itchy kitties, and is a great source of fat especially when paired in rotation with leaner meats like rabbit. Cats thrive with 30% fat in their diets.

Our goal is quality, variety, novelty, fair pricing, and customer satisfaction!

Grinding both as a metaphorical hustle and literally grinding meat. 😂😂🤓

Thank you to the customer and friend who shared this with me, saying it was me in a nutshell. 🤣

Each chicken batch is about 36lbs with 12 eggs added in. Chicken thighs (deboned), whole chicken carcass ground, hearts, gizzards and liver mixed well and portioned with love.

Small batches to ensure freshness and quality. 💖💞

We are so proud to now offer rabbit and rat as two new ground proteins starting this month. My goal has always been variety and quality sourced meats!

Rat is complete including fur and entrails. Our whole rabbit includes the head! This is a major source of nutrients many companies miss. Rabbit is a lean meat which is also low in taurine. We do not recommend a rabbit only diet, although it can be great for felines with allergies, as well as a tasty change of pace.

We will be offering dehydrated rabbit ears soon. These are a safe toy they can eat, and a great source of fibre in their diet.

Jackson Galaxy on raw food. He has been promoting raw diets for cats for several years, and it is wonderful to have a popular media source back up optimal feline nutrition.

That being said he promotes supplements on balanced raw that are not needed which intimidates people (likely because he sells these products), and does not stress the importance of doing raw correctly with the proper meat/bone/secreting organ ratios. Always educate yourself from multiple sources, and do not be scared as raw is not as complex as you think. 😉

Vipleo Canada (Caracat and Chaussie breeder) is a longtime customer. We love their mixed whole prey platter on their diet page!

Caracats are one of the newest and more rare hybrid cats. If you’d like more info on the breed, feel free to check their site: www.vipleocanada.com.

Rats VS Mice

A natural option for both snakes and felines, but which are more nutritious?

This is depending on how you approach it. Rats are leaner and higher in protein value, whereas mice contain more fat. Both rodents are overall pretty comparable in terms of vitamins and minerals. For a reptile I would keep in mind the species of the snake which will thrive best on one or the other (and the size of a rodent for a complete meal), but for a cat it does not matter as much and variety is always suggested.

Cats need plenty of fat and protein in their diets. Both rats and mice are closer to 5-7% bone versus the usual 80:10:10 ratio recommended, but nature has a way of making things balance. Their bones have a different chemical makeup, and more important than the bone to meat ratio, is the calcium and phosphorus they contain. This ratio in a rodent is in a range that is safe and ideal for any carnivore.

Rats are more cost effective as they are larger (cost per weight). Most cats will enjoy both options, but some are prefer one over the other.
