Our Diet and Health Plans

Ideal Diet and Care Plan

• Diet – 100% raw diet, preferably our All Natural Raw Diet as described in the Ideal Diet section.  Grass-fed meats and pastured poultries are to be preferred over others.  If you choose not to feed the recommended prepackaged raw products please contact us with your diet plan, ingredients, and feeding schedule for approval.  Your cat should be fed and given water in glass bowls or stainless steel.  Plastic should be avoided.  Providing fresh filtered water (using a Brita Pitcher or Pur Filter on your facet is fine) will help ensure the health of your cat or kitten.  Fresh water should be available at all times and some filtered water may be added to their food to make sure they consume adequate levels.  Pet Fountains are acceptable for water if the filters are changed often and the bowls and reservoirs are cleaned regularly.
• Health Care – Homeopathic, herbal and holistic remedies are to be used first, unless it is a life-threatening emergency.  No vaccines except those required by law are to be administered.  Those required by law should only be given with extreme care.  No vaccine should be given within 30 days of illness, surgery, injury, breeding, nursing kittens, pregnancy or other stress.  Cats and kittens should be watched for vaccine reactions and appropriate homeopathic remedies should be administered in the case of illness, vaccinosis, injury or other health problem.  Use of non-herbal or homeopathic flea remedies, de-wormers, or medications should be avoided.
• Natural Kitty Litters – Only all natural kitty litters should be used.  No clumping clay litter may be used or it voids any health guarantee.  See the Resources section for a list of quality alternative clumping litters.
• Household Products – Care should be taken to avoid the use of any harmful household products.  We recommend our kitten and cat buyers switch to all natural, environmentally friendly, and non-toxic household cleansers, detergents and soaps.  We request that only all natural dish washer detergent, dish soaps, and cleansers be used on any surface, dish, or utensil the cat may come into it contact with as well as natural soaps or shampoos on the cat.
• Declawing – Declawing is a cruel procedure that mutilates the cat's paws and can cause permanent damage and behavioral problems.  Any cat or kitten that is declawed without prior written approval by Pendraig Siberians will not be eligible for any health guarantee.
• Vaccinations – This is the vaccine schedule to comply with our no vaccinations protocol of the Ideal Health Care Plan.
1. No vaccine except those required by law shall be given.
2. Rabies vaccine will be given after 6 months of age and not in conjunction with another vaccine, treatment, surgery, injury or illness.  One rabies booster may be administered no earlier than 1 year from the initial vaccination.  The vaccine should not be repeated more than every 3 years per the vaccine label.  In areas where annual rabies vaccination is required owners are encouraged to obtain a waiver from their vet for the term of 3 years and even beyond based on titer levels.  If rabies vaccination is not required then we recommend not vaccinating your indoor cat, their chances of contact with rabies is slim to none.
3. Vaccination for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), Ringworm, Panleukopenia, Rhinotracheitis, and Calicivirus, Bordetella (Bordetellosis), Chlamydia (Chlamydiosis) or any other vaccine other than rabies shall void the health guarantee.
4. Vaccination with any newly developed vaccine, or a vaccine not specifically listed on the contract voids the health guarantee.  When in doubt contact us for prior approval
5. No vaccine will be given within 30 days of another vaccination, surgery, illness, injury, breeding, pregnancy, lactation or other stress.
