This recipe is high in omega-3 fatty acids from salmon for skin and coat health. The calcium-phosphorus ratio is below ideal (should be 1:1 to 2:1), so a calcium supplement like ground eggshell (1/2 tsp per batch) is recommended. Consult a veterinary nutritionist to ensure this meets your dog's specific needs.

🧊 Safety & Storage

Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze individual portions for up to 3 months. Always thaw frozen portions in the refrigerator overnight. Wash hands and all surfaces thoroughly after handling raw salmon and eggs.

⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning

Do not substitute salmon with raw fish due to parasite risks; do not replace sweet potato with white potato (solanine toxicity); do not omit supplements as this recipe lacks essential micronutrients; do not use onion, garlic, grapes, or macadamia nuts which are toxic to dogs.
