Salmon & Tuna Feast

Skin & Coat

Ingredients

  • 1 lb wild salmon fillet
  • 1 can tuna in water (no salt added), drained
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tsp salmon oil
  • 1/4 tsp taurine powder
  • 1/4 tsp calcium carbonate
  • 100 IU vitamin E

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Poach salmon in 1/4 cup water over medium heat for 10-12 minutes until it flakes easily. Let cool.
  2. Flake salmon, checking carefully for bones.
  3. Combine flaked salmon with drained tuna in a bowl. Mix well.
  4. Add salmon oil, taurine, calcium carbonate, and vitamin E. Stir thoroughly.
  5. Portion into cat-sized servings. Refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months.

💊 Required Supplements

Per daily serving: 1/4 tsp taurine powder, 1/4 tsp calcium carbonate, 100 IU vitamin E. Salmon oil provides additional omega-3s for coat health. For long-term feeding, add a feline-specific vitamin-mineral premix.

Nutritional Analysis

Approximately 165 kcal per 1/4 cup. Protein ~48% DM, Fat ~20% DM, Carbohydrates ~3% DM, Fiber ~1% DM. Exceptionally rich in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) for skin, coat, and cognitive health. High palatability for picky eaters.

🧊 Safety & Storage

Seafood recipes spoil faster — refrigerate max 3 days. Freeze in single-serving portions. Do not feed tuna exclusively long-term due to mercury concerns — rotate with other proteins. Serve at room temperature.

⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning

Tuna should be fed in moderation due to mercury content — rotate this recipe with other protein sources. Taurine supplementation remains critical. Substituting salmon with other fish changes the fatty acid profile.
