⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Do not substitute salmon with raw or smoked salmon due to parasite and sodium risks. Avoid replacing sweet potatoes with white potatoes (solanine toxicity). Do not omit calcium supplementation as this recipe is calcium-deficient without it. Never use onion, garlic, grapes, or xylitol-containing ingredients as these are toxic to dogs.
