I bought organic spinach, carrots, green peas, green beans and squash (usually frozen but, if we were traveling, baby food) and just ground it up in a small Black & Decker grinder and mixed it with her Primal Raw or even canned foods (again, organic no grain food). Sometimes I would get fresh carrots or broccoli. It depended on what was available at the time and what I could manage under the circumstances. I have friends who swear by Honest Kitchen's products for their dogs. www.thehonestkitchen.com has a relatively new cat version out. Dixie loved the veggies. The kittens she sent me love pumpkin mixed in their food. They are young and feral (they are indoor, cared for kittens now obviously) so we are working on diet issues. It takes time.
