💊 Required Supplements
Add per 5 lbs of final food: 1/4 tsp calcium carbonate powder (for bone health), 200 IU vitamin E (antioxidant support), 1/2 tsp iodized salt (thyroid function), and 1 tsp fish oil (additional omega-3 boost).

🧊 Safety & Storage
Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze individual portions for up to 3 months. Always thaw frozen portions in the refrigerator overnight, never at room temperature. Discard any uneaten food left out for more than 2 hours. Wash all surfaces and utensils thoroughly after preparation.
⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Do not substitute salmon with tilapia or catfish as they lack sufficient omega-3 content for skin and coat benefits. Avoid replacing sweet potato with white potato due to different glycemic impact. Never use macadamia nuts or grapeseed oil as alternatives. Omitting the calcium supplement will create dangerous mineral imbalances leading to bone disease.
