Is anyone familiar with “healthy powder” for cats as part of a raw food?
I plan to have my cats, a raw-food counter. one of my cats has severe allergies (32 of them to be exact). I have done some extensive reading about the raw diet and he says to add sound power at each meal. There are many ingredients in this mixture, one of which is yeast. My cat is allergic to yeast so I can not count them in the mix. is there something that I use, has the same nutritional value? Or is it ok to just leave it in the recipe, without any sort of deficiency?

Check out: http://www.felineinstincts.com I use that supplement powder and salmon oil with my cats raw meat and have done so for eight years. There is no yeast in it.

Never heard of “healthy powder” and I’ve been feeding raw with suppliments for years now.
I personally feed a ground Raw Meat, Bones and Organ based diet to my cats and they are incredibly healthy on it. I HIGHLY recommend it. While scary at first, once I got the hang of it and felt comfortable with it it’s a snap to prepare.
Cats are obligate carnivores after all and must derive ALL their nutrients from meat based sources. They are unable to absorb them from any other source. Despite thousands of years of domestication they remain strictly carnivorous. True and honest meat eaters and that is what they need most. Protein from meat!
If you are interested in feeding a raw diet some great places to start learning are http://www.catinfo.org/ , http://www.catnutrition.org/ , and http://www.felinefuture.com/nutrition/ .
If you would like to try raw with your cats and don’t want to get all technical about it but want to try a trusted, time tested and balanced raw diet you can order from http://www.felinespride.com/products/catfood.aspx . I purchased this myself when I first started and my cats loved it!
Another premade Raw you can try is Natures Varity. I personally have never used this but know many people that do and it’s pretty easy to find http://www.naturesvariety.com/content.lasso?page=1507&-session=naturesvariety:D04EC9250597c11908GJS417647E
