When we first started feeding our cats a raw diet more than a decade ago, Raw Meow didn’t even exist – but we’re so glad it does today. Raw Meow Mix is a high-quality Australian-made product that delivers the same balanced, species-appropriate nutrition we’ve always aimed to feed our cats – whether through homemade raw recipes or meal completers.
We made the switch to Raw Meow products in 2018, and it’s been part of our raw feeding routine ever since. So yes, this review is well and truly overdue. After all these years, Raw Meow Mix has more than earned its place as one of our trusted go-to raw feeding products.

Why Raw Meow Mix makes sense for raw feeders
If sourcing and balancing organ meat isn’t your thing, or you simply don’t have time to prepare homemade raw meals, a meal completer like Raw Meow Mix is a simple, stress-free alternative.
To prepare a balanced raw meal, all you need to do is:
- Buy fresh, boneless human-grade meat
- Add the Raw Meow Mix supplement
- Mix in water and stir thoroughly
This straightforward prep takes just minutes – no organ sourcing, no bone grinding, and no complicated calculations. You end up with a nutritionally balanced meal that supports your cat’s health without the fuss.
Raw Meow Mix options explained
Raw Meow Mix for cats is designed to support all ages and health needs, making balanced raw feeding simpler. Each formula is mixed with boneless muscle meat in the right ratio to create a complete, nutritious meal.
- Adult Mix – adult cats: Balanced for everyday feeding, this mix provides essential vitamins, minerals, and organs when combined with meat. It’s the one we use in our cat’s raw feeding rotation.
- Kitten Mix – growing kittens: With higher calcium and phosphorus levels, this supports strong bone and muscle development in kittens up to 12 months. It’s also suitable for pregnant and nursing queens.
- Low Mix – special dietary needs: A gentler option with reduced protein, phosphorus, and sodium – ideal for senior cats or those needing kidney support while staying on a raw diet.
- Hypoallergenic Mix – sensitive cats: Made without common triggers like egg and green-lipped mussel, this formula is ideal for food sensitivities or elimination diets. Pair it with a single novel protein (like kangaroo) to create a simple, balanced raw meal.
What we love about Raw Meow
There’s lots of things that make this product a stand-out, but here are the things most important to us.
High quality standards
Raw Meow Mix is made in Australia using human-grade ingredients. It’s produced under strict quality standards, with a focus on ingredient transparency. This means you’re not guessing what’s in your cat’s food – you know exactly what you’re feeding.
Pure, natural ingredients
Raw Meow Mix contains a carefully selected blend of nutrient-dense, species-appropriate ingredients, including:
- Freeze-dried liver (protein depends on the Mix type e.g. chicken, lamb or kangaroo)
- Egg yolk
- Green-lipped mussel powder
- Calcium carbonate (as a bone replacement)
- Taurine
- Essential vitamins and minerals.
Just as important is what’s not in it: no grains, no fillers, no additives, no flow agents, and no thickeners. This clean ingredient list makes it a great option for cats with sensitive stomachs or food intolerances, since it avoids unnecessary ingredients that can trigger flare-ups.
AAFCO compliant
All Raw Meow Mix formulas meet AAFCO nutrient guidelines when used as directed. As long as you use boneless meat and follow the instructions, you’re providing complete and balanced nutrition – no extra supplements or organs required.
Sample sizes available
Not sure if your cat will eat it? Raw Meow offers sample packs so you can test it out before committing to a full bag. Each sample provides enough premix for a few meals – ideal for introducing it slowly or seeing how picky eaters respond.
Additional raw feeding options
Besides Raw Meow Mix, the company offers fully balanced and complete freeze dried raw meals that you just add water – no prep needed. They also have frozen pre-portioned complete raw meals (only available in Perth, Western Australia), freeze-dried raw treats and toppers, and a range of supplements to support joint, digestive health and more.
Our experience with Raw Meow
Transitioning to any new food always comes with a few challenges and our switch to Raw Meow was no exception. Charlie was the first to dive in – no surprise to us, he loves his food. Ava and Max on the other hand, took a little longer to adjust.
We followed a slow transition, mixing small amounts of Raw Meow Mix with their usual raw food. At first, they simply gave their food a few suspicious sniffs and walked away. The new smell, slightly different texture, and unfamiliar taste threw them off. But we persisted.
After about three weeks, everyone was eating it without hesitation. They love their raw food with Raw Meow Mix. So much in fact, that in our house when we’re doing raw prep, we have to ban the cats from the kitchen. Although, we do let them lick the bowls when we’re done.
Tip: If your cat turns up their nose at a new raw food, don’t give up too quickly. Small steps and patience go a long way in helping them transition.
Is Raw Meow Mix right for you?
If you’ve ever wanted to feed your cat a homemade raw diet but felt overwhelmed by sourcing organs or balancing nutrients, Raw Meow takes those barriers away.
Whether you’re new to raw feeding or an experienced raw feeder looking for convenience, there’s a Raw Meow option to suit almost every situation.
- For raw feeders: Raw Meow Mix takes the guesswork out of meal prep. Adding meat, water, and the mix, gives you a balanced meal in minutes.
- For cats at all life stages: Formulas are available for kittens, adults, seniors, or cats with specific health concerns.
- For busy cat parents: Freeze-dried meals eliminate the need for prep altogether.
- For extra health support: Their supplement range – from gut health and joint blends to bone broth – can be used alongside Raw Meow Mix. We’ve personally tried and recommend the Gut Motility Fibre – Max’s Blend (great for constipation in cats), and Gut Health – Probiotic/Prebiotic – Ava’s Blend.
