This recipe provides high-quality animal-based protein essential for feline obligate carnivores, with chicken liver delivering concentrated vitamin A, B12, and iron for skin health. The egg yolks contribute biotin and fatty acids that support coat shine and skin integrity. Note the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio is below ideal (target 1.1-1.5:1); this recipe should be part of a rotation with calcium-supplemented meals or include an additional 300mg calcium carbonate per serving to balance mineral ratios. The high moisture content supports urinary tract health common in adult cats. Always consult your veterinarian before transitioning to homemade diets, as individual cats may require adjusted supplementation based on bloodwork and health status.

🧊 Safety & Storage

Store in airtight containers in refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze individual portions for up to 2 months. Thaw frozen portions overnight in refrigerator. Never leave food at room temperature for more than 30 minutes. Always use fresh chicken liver and ensure all poultry is cooked to safe internal temperatures. Wash hands and surfaces thoroughly after handling raw ingredients.

⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning

Do not substitute chicken liver with other organ meats without adjusting vitamin A levels, as liver is extremely high in retinol. Avoid replacing salmon oil with plant-based oils as cats cannot efficiently convert ALA to EPA/DHA. Do not add onions, garlic, grapes, or any seasonings as these are toxic to cats. Pumpkin can be substituted with equal amounts of cooked sweet potato but never use raw or seasoned varieties.

⚕️ Always consult your veterinarian before changing your pet's diet.
