CAT FOOD ALERT PART DEUX

Since even more pet food brands and types have been added to the recall list, I'm posting a recipe good for cats, dogs, humans, whatever you have to save from polluted wheat gluten--the original recipe was designed by a vet at U.C. Davis College of Veterinary medicine, and I expanded it to include all flavors of meat.

For ALL formulas:

7 eggs, hard boiled
1 T. psyllium husk powder
1 t. nutritional yeast
2 oil caps (fish or salmon)
½ t. salt substitute (NuSalt is the least objectionable)
6 calcium softgels, pierced, or 1 T. calcium citrate powder (700 mg. strength)
1 One-A-Day Max vitamin tablet, peeled and crushed--use potato peeler
3-1000 mg. capsules taurine, emptied into mix
________________________________________________

Beef Formula:

2 lbs. ground beef, cooked
½ lb. beef heart, cooked
½ lb. beef kidney, cooked (optional)
1/3 lb. beef liver, cooked

Chicken Formula:

2 lbs. ground chicken, cooked
½ lb. chicken hearts, cooked
½ lb. chicken gizzards, cooked (optional)
1/3 lb. chicken livers, cooked

Fish formula:(use low sodium products)


1 can salmon, undrained
1 can tuna, undrained
1 can mackerel, drained
1 can clams, drained
Pork formula:

2 lbs. ground pork, cooked
½ lb. beef heart, cooked
½ lb. pork kidney, cooked (optional)
1/3 lb. pork liver, cooked

To cook: cut up into small chunks and brown in a pot on the stove. When done, add meat and all juices into food processor with all other ingredients and mix thoroughly. Add water or broth (up to 32 oz.) as needed to make mix moist and easy to spin in processor--the fiber will absorb some of the liquid, so you may have to add liquid several times.

To freeze: Spoon into ice cube trays and freeze overnight, or pour into bowl and refrigerate until solid—solid mix can be broken up with a fork before serving.

For dogs and other animals who eat vegetables as a matter of course--add about 2 cups grated veggies (carrots, zucchini, etc.) to the above ingredient list. Cats are obligate carnivores and do not process beta carotene (found in all plant material)--they SHOULD NOT eat fruits or vegetables.
