I have started making food at home using Strombeck's recipes. So far, so good. One of my cats (we have 3) has IBD, thus the need for a cleaner diet.
Here is the recipe--
Chicken Diet
1/2 pound (weight before cooking) chicken (boneless breast) (228 grams)
1/2 egg, large, chicken, whole, cooked
1/2 ounce clams, chopped in juice (15 grams)
4 teaspoons vegetable (canola) oil (20 grams)
1/8 teaspoon salt substitute-potassium chloride
1/3 teaspoon bone meal powder (2 grams)
1 multiple vitamin-mineral tablet
provides 471 kcalories, 53.1 g protein, 27.4 g fat
What I have changed -- the oil and the clams
I have concerns about the canola oil being so processed, and have been using Flax oil instead. Is this okay? I decreased the amount slightly because I know it's more potent. They seem to like it better.
CLAMS -- I do not have access to clams and even if I did, our IBD cat has some seafood issues. I have omitted them and add one Taurine tab (500 mg) to the batch (again, there are 3 of them). Is there anything else that they are missing without the clams?
