How to Make Natural Cat Food: A Detailed Recipe
If you want your pet to be active and healthy, you should take a responsible approach to the issue of its nutrition.
Those owners who do not trust store-bought food will certainly enjoy (if not them, then their animals will definitely enjoy) natural food prepared according to the recipe in this article.
Let's admit it right away: the ingredients that go into it are not the easiest. But if you can find everything you need, you can breathe a sigh of relief: you've done the hard part.
So, to prepare natural food that can be given to a healthy cat weighing 2.5 kg, you will need:
- 1 kg chicken thighs,
- 100 g raw chicken liver,
- 200 g raw chicken hearts,
- 125 ml of water,
- 2 yolks,
- 1 g taurine,
- 2 g fish oil,
- 100 mg vitamin B,
- 100 IU (67 mg) vitamin E,
- 4 g iodized salt,
- 10 g psyllium powder.
25% of the chicken bones will need to be removed, and half of the thighs will need to be skinned (for obese cats, the food is prepared without skin at all).
You can also use boneless meat, but in this case the feed will have to be supplemented with calcium: 1 g of this supplement is needed for 30 g of meat.
Place the meat and bones into a grinder to get minced meat.
It needs to be mixed with other products listed in the list, and the food is ready.
It can be stored in the refrigerator or even frozen if you make too much.
To measure out the required amount of food, subtract 2-4% of the animal’s weight – the resulting number is the daily norm for the cat.
