Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken thighs with bone (skin removed)
  • 2 chicken hearts
  • ½ chicken liver
  • 1 raw egg yolk
  • 450 mg taurine powder
  • 1 tsp fish oil
  • ½ cup steamed and pureed vegetables (spinach, carrots, broccoli)
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin puree (plain, unsweetened)
  • ¾ cup water or unsalted bone broth

Instructions
 

  • Grind chicken with bone.
  • Dice or grind hearts and liver, then add to the mix.
  • Stir in egg yolk, taurine, fish oil, and veggie puree.
  • Add water or broth until desired consistency.

Notes

Vegetables must lightly steamed and pureed — cats can’t break down plant cell walls on their own.
