Hi Sherark

The liver powder is available from the same place as the Instinct but not available yet for us in EU countries.

So........you may have to pull a bit of liver about!

There is probably somewhere else online infact think someone told me there is but can't remember

Will have to have a nosey online again

When I googled Liver Powder loads of sites that stock it over here had it, even eBay.

I have a question. Can you add different meats to the Instincts you make up or does it have to be just the one meat? Also i'm guessing prizechoice is not suitable because it cannot be re frozen?

I also tried to buy the Liver Powder from this Instinct supplier but when I clicked on buy now, there was no Liver Powder to order.

Anyway I ordered my bulk buy yesterday morning, so how long can I expect it to arrive on my door?

Hi Kimberly

It'll usually be delivered within 3 or 4 days.

I'm not sure whether you can just use any liver powder as a substitute for real liver. They don't mention it on their site (but then they wouldn't would they ).

You can add any kind of raw meat to the mix. They recommend that when using real liver you keep to the same animal type as the meat. That is, use poultry liver for chicken/turkey. Lamb liver for lamb etc. Otherwise the cat might vomit (not sure why)..

They also recommend introducing the fattier meats (such as lamb) gradually for the same reason.

If you make up a poultry mix, you can use a small bit of lamb or beef mince as a binder to make the meal less watery.

Zigs seems to tolerate this fine and hasn't ever thrown it back up.

You can refreeze raw meat as long as it's been defrosted safely in the fridge and hasn't been hanging around too long.

I don't use the prize choice meat with the Instincts because it has bone in it. Their website says not to use bone or bonemeal as the powder has all this in and adding extra may cause constipation.

I just emailed the EU manufacturer of Instincts TC regarding the liver powder. They say they hope to have it available in January 2009. It has been delayed due to EU regulations.

They also cannot recommend an alternative to using real liver.

They did say that you can order the powder direct from Canada if you really need to by contacting them by phone.
