Chicken Liver & Egg Mix

Skin & Coat

Ingredients

  • 500g chicken thigh (skinless, boneless, diced)
  • 150g chicken liver (raw, chopped)
  • 3 large eggs (whole, lightly beaten)
  • 100g steamed broccoli (finely chopped)
  • 50g cooked pumpkin (mashed)
  • 2 tbsp salmon oil
  • 100ml low-sodium chicken broth (for cooking)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour in the chicken broth.
  2. Add diced chicken thigh and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked through with no pink remaining.
  3. Add chopped chicken liver to the skillet and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes until browned and firm.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes, then stir in the beaten eggs, mixing vigorously to create a soft scramble texture.
  5. Fold in the steamed broccoli and mashed pumpkin until evenly distributed.
  6. Allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature before adding salmon oil and stirring gently.
  7. Portion into daily servings and refrigerate or freeze as needed.

💊 Required Supplements

Add the following per 1 kg of prepared food: 5000 IU Vitamin A (as retinyl acetate), 500 IU Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol), 50 IU Vitamin E (as mixed tocopherols), 200 mg taurine powder, 50 mg B-complex (containing B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, folic acid, and biotin), 1000 mg calcium carbonate powder, 500 mg zinc methionine, and 1/4 teaspoon iodized salt.

This recipe provides high-quality complete protein from chicken, liver, and eggs, supporting muscle maintenance and coat quality. Chicken liver is an excellent source of vitamin A, iron, and B-vitamins essential for skin cell turnover. Eggs deliver biotin and complete amino acids critical for fur health. Salmon oil supplies preformed EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids that reduce skin inflammation and improve coat sheen. Taurine supplementation is absolutely essential, as cats cannot synthesize adequate amounts and deficiency leads to cardiac and retinal disease. The calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of 1.3:1 falls within the recommended range of 1.0–1.5:1 for adult cats. This recipe is not complete and balanced without the specified supplements—feeding without them will result in nutritional deficiencies over time. Always work with a veterinary nutritionist when feeding homemade diets long-term.

🧊 Safety & Storage

Store fresh portions in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze individual portions in ice cube trays or small containers for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen portions overnight in the refrigerator—never microwave. Always wash hands, utensils, and surfaces thoroughly after handling raw meat and eggs. Discard any food left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Consult your veterinarian before introducing this recipe, especially if your cat has liver disease, pancreatitis, or food allergies.

⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning

Do not substitute chicken liver with beef or pork liver without adjusting quantities, as different livers have varying vitamin A and copper levels that can cause toxicity or deficiency. Do not replace salmon oil with flaxseed oil, as cats cannot efficiently convert plant-based omega-3s (ALA) to the bioactive forms (EPA/DHA) needed for skin and coat health. Avoid adding onions, garlic, grapes, or any seasoning beyond iodized salt, as these are toxic to cats. Substituting broccoli with spinach may contribute to urinary crystal formation in susceptible cats.
