⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Do not substitute dark meat chicken without adjusting fat content. Do not replace white rice with brown rice without increasing cooking time and water ratio. Never use onion, garlic, or chives as substitutes for listed vegetables as these are toxic to dogs. Do not omit or reduce calcium supplementation as this will cause dangerous calcium deficiency. Avoid using low-sodium or no-salt-added broth as dogs require adequate sodium.
