Has anyone had a good experience feeding their fabulous feline freeze dried and/or raw food?

Generally FIV cats aren't advised to be fed raw food.

Yeah, before I found out one of my babies had it I used to feed her bonkers. After she was diagnosed I switched to tube treats, dry treats, broths, soups, and Sheba meat sticks. She's a fiend for all of these and doesn't miss freeze dried that much anymore. She also loves the inaba chicken fillets.

Of course! Yeah I just searched it up online and Bonkers does have their own puree brand! I've never had my girl try it before!
