How to make Salmon Cat Food Recipe?

Suppose you are looking for a way to save money on cat food. This blog post is for you. Here’s how to make your own salmon cat food recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of salmon,
• cooked and flaked 4 cups of chicken broth
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 4 eggs
• ¾ cup of cornmeal
• ½ cup oatmeal
• ½ cup skim milk

Directions:

1. First, you need to cook the salmon in a skillet. You do not need to add any seasonings or water to it or add any butter or cooking spray. Cooking the salmon will prevent fish stains from getting on your clothes or table.

2. Next, you need to remove the bones from the cooked salmon. This is a very important step because it reduces the chances of your cat choking on any bones. If you have never removed fish bones before, use a pair of tongs or tweezers instead of your fingers to get the job done.

3. Next, combine all ingredients into a large bowl and mix them well.

4. Once the ingredients are mixed well, you will want to pour the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Then, cut in half the eggs and pour a half onto one side of the bowl. You want to mix both sides and spread them out on your paper towel until they dry.

5. Lastly, put all salmon mixture into an airtight container and store it in your refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Tips:

1. Instead of adding chicken broth to the mixture, you can also use beef or vegetable broth.

2. If you do not feed your cat salmon for longer than 4 days, you can freeze all ingredients except for the rice.

3. You can also use other types of lean meat in this recipe, like poultry or lean beef instead of salmon.

4. If you are using vegetables instead of grains, it may take the pet food longer to dry and could result in molding if left out for too long after it is cooked.

5. You can also make homemade fish sticks by cooking a whole salmon filet until the meat is white when you stick it with a fork. Let the filet cool, then cut it into 4 to 6-inch long strips.

Then, dip each piece in egg and cornmeal first and shake off excess batter. Cook them until crispy, about 20 minutes at 350 until golden brown.

6. Lastly, if your cat is not allergic to fish, you can feed them both dog and cat food.

This homemade salmon recipe is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to feed their cat a natural diet because it contains no grains or other processed ingredients.

Health Benefits Of Salmon Cat Food

Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation, improve your cat’s skin and coat, as well as promote a healthy heart.

Tips:

If you want to save time and money by making more than 1 meal at a time, double or triple the recipe and store the extra portions in an airtight container in the fridge.

How Much Salmon Cat Food Should I Feed My Cat?

I recommend using 1 tablespoon of the homemade salmon paste for every 6-8 pounds of your cat’s body weight. This recipe yields about 3 cups (6 tablespoons) of food which will be enough to feed a 6-pound cat for one day. For cats over 6 pounds, double the recipe.

Why Give Your Cat Salmon?

Salmon contains important vitamins and minerals such as niacin, vitamin A, phosphorus, riboflavin, sodium selenite (a natural source of selenium), thiamine mononitrate, calcium, potassium, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Cats are obligate carnivores which means they need meat in their diet to survive. Salmon provides the necessary proteins and fats that cats need while also giving them an energy boost.
