🧊 Safety & Storage
Always cook chicken liver thoroughly to eliminate bacterial contamination risk. Never add onion, garlic, grapes, raisins, or xylitol as these are toxic to cats. Thaw frozen portions overnight in refrigerator, never at room temperature. Discuss any uneaten food after 30 minutes. Wash hands and all surfaces thoroughly after handling raw meat. Consult your veterinarian before switching to homemade diet, and schedule bloodwork monitoring every 6 months.
⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Do not substitute chicken liver with beef liver without adjusting quantities as beef liver has different vitamin A levels and can cause toxicity in excess. Do not replace sardines with tuna due to mercury concerns. Do not omit taurine as deficiency causes blindness and heart failure in cats. Do not use dog supplements as they lack essential feline nutrients. Any ingredient changes require recalculation of nutritional balance by a veterinary nutritionist.
⚕️ Always consult your veterinarian before changing your pet's diet.
