⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Do not substitute salmon with raw or smoked salmon due to parasite risk. Avoid replacing sweet potato with white potato (contains solanine). Do not use onion, garlic, or chives as substitutes for parsley, as these are toxic to dogs. Consult your veterinarian before making any ingredient substitutions, as this recipe is specifically balanced for skin and coat health.
