This recipe provides high-quality animal-based protein and essential amino acids from chicken liver and eggs, supporting muscle maintenance and skin health. The fish oil supplement contributes omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) that promote a healthy, shiny coat and reduce skin inflammation. Taurine is critical for cats as they cannot synthesize it adequately, supporting heart and eye health. The balanced calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of 1.3:1 supports bone health. This diet is higher in fat than commercial diets to support skin and coat condition, making it particularly suitable for cats with dry or dull coats. Always consult your veterinarian before switching to a homemade diet to ensure it meets your individual cat's needs.

🧊 Safety & Storage

Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze individual portions for up to 2 months. Thaw frozen portions in the refrigerator overnight. Always serve at room temperature or slightly warmed. Discard any uneaten food after 2 hours. Wash all surfaces and utensils thoroughly after preparation.

⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning

Do not substitute chicken livers with other organ meats without adjusting the vitamin A content. Avoid using raw eggs due to avidin and salmonella risks. Do not replace olive oil with other fats without considering the fatty acid profile. Adding garlic, onions, or excessive salt is toxic to cats and must be avoided entirely.

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