I feed using Dr. Lisa Pierson’s recipe, but have many friends who want to feed a good homemade diet but don’t care to tackle her recipe.
I’m passing this along to those who I know will be interested.
As always, thank you so much, Dr. Jones!
sorry to bother you, but can you send me a link to the recipe. thank you

Please don't feed your cat sunflower oil. Use beef tallow or some other animal fat
Coconut oil
No olive oil please@@luciexvxvxvx
Butter?
@@jayhedrick2964 animal fat
No one should be consuming sunflower ( or any seed) oil. Thank you for posting this!
I just adopted 5-month old kitten (plus I have a seven-year old). Can I feed this formula to my kitten? Thx, Dr Jones - SO GLAD I FOUND YOU!
Yay thanks I have been wondering about making cat food for my "grand-cat" my daughters cat that we fed as a preemie from a bottle ;) :)
I am a little confused about how much homemade dog food to feed our dogs daily. They weigh 22 lbs each but 1 is definitely over weight. They said she should be 16 lbs at the vet.
I use blender for my egg shells..yes, can make to powder..good for cat and garden!
Murray is a fatty catty, he’s beautiful ❤️🙏🇮🇪
Do you think flax is better than psyllium powder if Cat has a hard stool?
Thank you. 🙏
Thank you
Thank you for rescuing me from the 92 cent catfood per 3.2 Oz horror! Commercial cat food is so undernurishing, and exorbitantly expensive! My cat will only eat certain brands, and only certain flavors. Those flavors are not always available. Fortunately, she likes beef and chicken. She's 17 years old, is going blind and has a thyroid condition. And yes the krill oil is especially helpful. I avoid livers and organ meats. She won't eat them any way. Will try your recipe on her to see if she likes it. Thank you ever so much!
Can canned salmon be used instead of ground turkey?
Would this be ok for a male cat with a history of struvite crystals? The vet won’t talk about anything other than prescription diet. I am feeding it to him but the ingredients bother me. I’d love to switch him- and my other 2 to homemade. It would be cheaper in the long run and much better for them. Also, can it be frozen?
Where do you get those supplements
i am nursing a 36 yr old calico. she has never had special food untill 5 yrs ago. she has been thru much but still wakes us everyday at 6 am for breakfast. age brings tradition. im just blessed to have her this long. she needs this home made food. actually all 9 of my cats. also have a now 30 yr old male tuxedo.
Wow how i wish my cat get to live that long too. May I ask what is their usual diet & vitamins?
What's your secret
That is amazing 👏
36?!?!
Isn't the world record 39 year old 💀
thank you
1p trurky (chicken or meat)
1s sunflower oil
1 egg
Wait till it cold then add those
-Egg shell wash it then break it and put it in the microwave or oven then Grind it add 1ts
-2 capsules of 500mg of taurine (now brand)
- ultimate omega3 in form of krill oil (1 thousand)
- ground flax seed (fibres) 1ts/1p of meat
- complete multi vitamins
(130-140g) / 1 pound
So are you saying 150 grams of chicken is enough for a cat per day ?
Seed oil is toxic. Can a cat eat avocado, olive, flax oils, etc.?
@@alexandra-q7u1m I use sardine oil or coconut oil.
Ewww no. No seed oil for me or my Bella
😂😂😂😂😂 yall are dumb @@alexandra-q7u1m
I have never trusted a man on the internet more than this guy. God bless you; thanks for sharing the care so we can take better care of our own
Finally!!! A home made cat food that doesn't contain vegetables!!!! I can't believe how many videos I've watched by vets saying they need vegetables. Thank you so much!!!
I love that you commented this because, i hate seeing veggie recipes ITS A CAT it needs meat
@@iateerensmom2178 💯I can understand that regular people would make that mistake, but when a vet says it, it makes me question what they're teaching all doctors!! LOL!
@@retrogirl9089how to keep us alive, but so sick we sometimes wish we were dead 😢
Thank you! It's as if they don't know the definition of "carnivore". Meat, meat, meat ,lol.
Whatever they catch in the wild like a mouse or a bird will have vegetables in its system so it's not far fetched and it's good roughage fiber
This was one of the easier recipes for making cat food I have seen on the internet. The only thing I would do different is after cooking the turkey, I would put all the other incredients together in a bowl separately and mix them together thoroughly. Then I would pour them evenly onto the turkey and mix thoroughly. That way it is uniformly present in the turkey. I liked what the Vet had to say about carbs and vegetable in cat food. Some people would make cats into vegetarian. Low carbs is good for cats and human who are diabetic or pre diabetic. Diabetes is a dietary illness (Type 2).
Major cat food brands, ones that are known for being "top quality" are going overboard on the peas.
How many "cans" should the cat get a day. One of my cats weighs 22 pound. I wld like her to eat herself slim. She is mad for dried food.
@@MaryKane-qv5vz I wouldn't take dry cat food away from her totally as she loves it but use it more as a treat like..... but it is healthier to feed healthy wet food as main source of food. I do give my cat dry cat food but he only gets 3/4 c - 1 c. dry food a day.....I put out 1/2 cup first thing in the morning and give him his 10 dental treats and he will eat the treats first while I take kids to school and then by 11:30-12:30 I give him 1/2 can ACANA 5 oz can cat food (I've been slowly introducing him to homemade cat food to get him to like it as he won't touch table food at all... go figure) and store the other half in the fridge and he is good all day........ we make sure to schedule in play time to give him exercise and he will graze on the dry cat food during the day... more like taking a snack in between playing or sleeping....... at around 5 pm I take the other half can of his wet food out to get to room temp and by 6:30 or so he gets the other half of that. Usually he still has at least half of the dry cat food I gave him in the morning in his other bowl so I don't add anymore for the day but if he is out of dry cat food in his bowl (usually when he is super active he will graze more) I will add only about 1/4 c. more for him. After he eats the last of his wet cat food and my kids are done showering my cat likes to have a play session with my son for an hour or so before bed. But as I said I've been slowly introducing homemade cat food to him as I heard it is best to slowly introduce new diets for success........ but even when no more canned cat food and he is on homemade wet cat food I'll keep to the schedule I have as a little bit of dry cat food a day isn't bad........ just watch the kind...... I buy ACANA dry cat food which has better ingredients than a lot of others at the stores .......
@@MaryKane-qv5vzI'm sorry but I WOULDN'T take advice from anyone who tells you to keep feeding your cat dry food. Even the so-called "best and healthy" dry food is garbage. When I was feeding my babies the best dry food my two boys almost died from a blocked urethra, and always had health issues. Once I gradually took them from dry to wet grain free food they improved a lot. Once I mixed the wet food with raw they improved even more. They had a senior panel done about a month ago and the vet praised me on how health my, 16, 17, and 19 year old cats are 🤔
I feed over 15 cats so please take us into consideration when you post a recipe. I am very interested in cooking for them. I do learn a lot from your videos. The cats are not all in my house, 7 are indoor and the rest live in my yard. Anyhow, right now I feed a mixture of waruva, primal nuggets, I mash a hard boiled egg sometimes, stella and chewy raw freeze dried (I buy a variety of raw freeze dried) and sometimes I boil chicken or fry porkchops, less often they also get makeral and tuna. So they get a large variety. Its very hard to cook 1 recipe for so many cats and have them eat twice a day. I have feline complete for a suppliment when I feed the cooked alone. Their health is most important to me. I love these guys.
I'm in your boat with 9 of mine and a half dozen strays. I have one that vomits too much and I have been giving her chicken scraps. Everyone else will have to make do with 9 Lives. I will add the eggshells though.
@@clayton56tubei have 14 cats and broke but i want them to be healthy so bad 😣.
With 20 cats, I work 5-7 days, I try to feed the best healthy food
@@auroratita God bless you ❤️.
I want to pose the question to him about what filler would be the most beneficial and least damaging, as I too am feeding more cats that I signed up for. I have 2 of my own but now have 4 more who eat here.(and who I got fixed among many other strays) So while I like this recipe quite a bit, I need a filler to make it stretch. I may just have to feed half as much and continue with kibble. BTW, check out Purina One True Instinct for kibble. It's the best I've found for value/ingredients and all the cats I've fed like it. It's way better ingredients that those "top quality" brands. So surprising.
What is wrong with everyone these days? Dr. Jones is kind enough to help all of us with pets out there and there are so many downright hateful comments. Dr. Jones, I just want to say how much I appreciate you. Please overlook the mean comments. The world would be a better place if everyone followed the golden rule. I will be making this for my cat.
Totally agree!
Many people do not recognize the value of eating healthy food. Well it prevents having high medical bills for one thing! Dr. Andrews, I am grateful for all the free information and energy that you expend because you love animals and people.
I'm sorry but NOT everyone agrees with his message including me. That said there's always a good and polite way to say and do anything. In my case I just decided to take what advice I agree with and leave the rest without commenting because he may or may not be right I don't know, but in any case I really do appreciate his efforts.
TY - my 15 yro cat stopped eating but she was drinking water- I really thought she would die- she wasn't grooming & lost weight.I put can food on her paw & she licked it off 2x & she drank milk w sugar-
then I added tuna& salmon & she ate them and bounced back
I just made her hamburger & she ate it- I ordered pure meat treats,& OTC med for diabetic cats- & dental treats.
Ty for the recipe-
She's eating more& grooming - she had been depressed due to loosing her buddy suddenly 7 most ago& she's been very clingy& very picky Abt food
I think it's cheaper & better to make it myself - blessings from NJ
not only this is healthy, I think its even cheaper than the food I buy for him
Can you PLEASE be my cats vet?! I wish every vet, especially my own had this level of insight and this well versed in what cats actually need to survive, vs what is commercially advertised and endorsed.
Dr Jones no longer practices because he was forced out of practicing by the arrogance and entitlement of other vet bullies. Yes, it really happens. Happened to me.
So true.
Yes...but my cat won't eat it raw, he INSISTS on his being cooked before he will even touch it...kids these days are so spoiled🙄
Have watched many of your videos and now this one. I am so fortunate to have found you and so grateful for your professional and non-biased opinion and advise. If all vets were more like you. Thank you for being you and keeping it real.
Happy to help as much as I can
@@VeterinarySecrets Hi Dr Jones. My oven doesn't work. Howelse can I use the eggshells? As is with a coffee grinder?

Dear Dr. Jones: I have seen a few of your videos in the past. Now I come across this homemade cat food receipe. All my cats have gone to the rainbow bridge and I am looking to adopt two more. I know this receipe will keep them healthy. Thank you for sharing with us.
Good morning May peace and blessings be upon you I am so sorry for your loss every cat is unique and one can never replace the other the only true semblance of peace i know after losing a few of my cats is that one day i too will join them in the hereafter. Cherish and help every feline soul until the day you die.
Also, please make sure your house is toxic free...no chemical cleaners or plug-in room deodorizers, or candles. Plus no chemical flea and tick meds. 😊
This is really helpful. Cat food is so hard to find now . This will be so much better for my 6 cats. Thank you❤️
Hi :) may I ask how the recipe has been going for your 6 cats? I have 7 males and want to try this out!
Started making this for my 2 cats Kiddo 12 yrs. old & Ivy 9 years old. I was worried they wouldn't like it after all of these years of feeding them store bought cat food. Ivy took to it immediately. At first Kiddo was like "what is this"? But once he started eating, he has been all in. Besides turkey I have used beef & have used chicken. Chicken seems to be their favorite. I also add a cup of water for added moisture. The one thing I noticed is they don't eat as much as they did the canned food. Maybe because it is much more dense than the canned. I don't know, just a guess. Anyways, thank you for sharing the recipe. Good to know my pals are eating healthy!
Where to buy ground faxseed pls? Thank you
Thank you for this comment because I have three cats. Two of them are kittens that are about 11 months old and they are getting to the point where I have to take them off dry kitten kibble but currently wet cat food which I feed my older cat is too expensive. I could only buy it for my senior cat who has been used to it for 12 yrs and won’t eat anything else. For these two, I would rather make it as it’s more affordable that way
@@debbieshomes6984 My local supermarket has it in the Health Food Section in Australia.
@@debbieshomes6984, whole foods, sprouts, winco, any store similar to these. Maybe Walmart and for sure amazon.
I believe it’s best to buy the whole seed and grind it yourself a little at a time as needed, or freeze it. Pre-ground will get stale fast and loose many of it’s value. 😸
@@debbieshomes6984 if you live in Canada superstore has it in their natural foods aisle right next to the produce aisle
…. We are pampering the 16 yr old neighborhood cat. I’ve been feeding her ground Turkey with a little Earths Best baby food “chicken pot pie”, no added salt or anything else but was worried she wasn’t getting things she should. Thank you, this will be her new diet starting on Friday.❤️

That’s wonderful what your doing! Cats need Taurine in every meal. Between 250 and 500mg two or three times a day.
@@bettythomasedelman8399 so can they get too much? If one shell is going into a pound of ground turkey, is that safe?
@@pamelamorrisonn you
@@Ikeaagain Taurine is considered an essential nutrient, but it can be obtained from a diet that contains animal-based proteins. If taurine levels are deficient it can cause damage to heart and impaired vision. Conditions are slow to develop. Turns out how you cook the ground turkey depends how much taurine would be lost. Taurine is available without a prescription as a supplement and supposedly no side effects if too much is given. Your vet can help you with dosage or just check the back of bags of cat food for their taurine content. Or if you emailed an online prescription place like Allivet you could ask them for exact dosage. Hope this helps
Why are we using sunflower oil for the fat? Just use small amounts of fat from a chicken
THANK YOU Dr. Jones for easy to understand and straight forward information.
I followed this recipe and mixed it with my cat's favorite wet food. He loves it! It has been Only 10 days, ketone in his urine has disappeared, glucose is lowered, and he is gaining weight! Thank you so much!
Wow nice❤
How are you measuring ketone, glucose etc?
@@chowe9 Urine Dipstick
@@chowe9 that is measured by collecting urine and testing with ketone urine test strips purchased at a regular pharmacy or online. They’re made for people but work for all mammals. You can also get strips that measure glucose/ketones together.
@@AndiS-dz4pq TY SO much
Thank you very much Dr. Jones, that was very helpful, I am keen to feed my animals a nutritious and balanced diet to keep my vet bills down. Ha, ha, my little rescued German Spitz, just cost me $4057.00 for two dental appointments, could have paid for a gold bridge for myself with that. Pets are members of the family, so it is my responsibiliy to take are of them. Just hope the little guy lives many more years to get some benefit from all the expense. Guess its pay back time, he had a gingival growth, and we are awaiting the biopsy results. Next week I have to have my biopsy. Fingers crossed on both!
Why does my cat steal raw broccoli & bread?
Also, we dont know her past....
She is always meowing for more food, i have to either distract her with letting her attack play and try not to have her break things in the process...or she just sleeps)...
When & how much are you supposed to feed a cat?
Thank you for this! Will you share more cat food recipes like this? It would be super helpful as I want to give my cats more variety !
I have been swapping out extra lean ground beef and chicken breast shredded up with all the supplementary ingredients he tells you to add for variety, how have your pets been getting on this diet?

You feeding Murry from hand was the most adorable part
Murray is so cute!
It is but not surprised he didn’t want to eat from that large bowl… lol
Lol...I have a cat that will not eat from a bowl. She will eat from a flat plate or handfed...not spoiled at all!
I like the recipe, I added water and turned it into a Puree.
I feed Dr. Pierson’s recipe to all but one of my cats and fosters. But I’ve passed your recipe (sharing your RUclips channel, too) with so many people who want to feed a balanced, healthy diet to their cats, but are, for whatever reason, hesitant to dive into preparing Dr. Pierson’s recipe.
I can’t thank you enough for sharing your knowledge with all of us!
Where do I find Dr Pierson diet for my cat?
@@asmrzee340 I can’t post a link on RUclips but search Cat Info, Dr. Pierson. It should pop up.
We live in the country. Cats getting dumped all the time. Right now we have 15 cats, 12 of those are inside only cats. All are spayed & neutered. I dont even want to tell you what out monthly Chewy bill is. Catfood prices have gone up sooooo much. So, now Im attempting to make and freeze catfood to see if I can save $$. Keep your fingers crossed for us!! 😊
Love the recipe but why sunflower oil? Isn’t that a highly processed seed oil? Would olive or coconut oil work? Or could the oil be substituted with a small amount of sardine?
You can use butter
I would use coconut oil
No way will I use a seed oil. Butter, lard, or tallow. If I won't eat seed oils, I sure won't feed it to my cat. Also, feeding her raw.
Lard could be good, fish oil too, and for the love of all that is holly, stay away from coconut oil. Only use it if it's required for a specific recipe.
@@DaKussh why? Coconut oil, specifically for dogs/cats is exactly what I use. What’s your rationale?
I understand that cats are carnivores but mine enjoy some addition of pumpkin to keep them regular, asparagus to support their urinary health and kefir with chia seeds for their gut health. Not to mention grass they will munch on like rabbits ☺
They also get some herbs and spices for general health and to keep worms away. I add parsley, turmeric, diatomaceous earth, neem leaf powder, pumpkin seeds and some other things as needed
❤
cats are obligate carnivores. They will eat plenty of things they can get their mouths on but that does not mean it is good for them.
@@KCville6324 so which of these things would you exclude?
@@KCville6324 wild cats do eat the whole prey, including the plant matter in the digestive tract. so plants in their diet isn't really bad, but just not all that nessecary.
@@Hannah-vt7lc Animals have great instincts so I believe and also observe that if they don't need something or it may be harmful for them they will avoid it. Kefir and asparagus though are the things all my cats devour and cannot get enough of. So I conclude it is good for them and necessary.
I was very surprised of the low water content of this food mixture. I would definitely add water …😊
Yes, thanks
Or you could use chicken or beef bone broth.
I have 4 cats. Almost $50-60 a month. This will save.
This is perfect.. I've been feeding my cat raw chicken only for some extra o and he's been so much better. I've been providing some urinary dry food and plenty of canned food with it but he's insane over that meat. I'm just going to replace the canned food and slowly remove the dry. They'd rather eat small animals anyway. Some of the few cats that actually eat what they kill though I'd rather them leave the birds alone. They live completely indoor with access to a completely fenced large catio run and they still catch many critters in there. Thanks Dr Jones. I have a bunch of ordering to do over on your site
I heard that you should not feed them raw chicken because it is not the same as the they kill the chicken themselves. Also due to bird flu how do you know if it is safe?
@@rivkahhoneysgirl5442you have to feed with a supplement. Their systems are different than ours and they break down the foods differently. He still gets a variety of foods but he recently had a bout of bladder stones so he's back on raw again. Honestly, if he'd eat mice from the pet store, I'd feed him that. That's next to try (the frozen kind, not live). He doesn't really like cooked food other than canned
I love you and my cat should...I love this food recipe because it is so basic and simple a real diet cats would eat from the most basic natural forms...love the eggshell! Along with krill oil, and your own supplement. Thank you for being a Voice of love and logic for pet parents.
Amen! Yep I am so freaking proud of you for sharing this I agree with this whole heartedly I've used beef liver and goats milk and pumpkin to save cats lives that I've rescued that are emecated it really does a number of things for them helping them gain wait and get on there way going back to being able to eat normal food again I cook it into a paste just until there strong enough to get back on track with there lives we also give them hemp CBD oil for anxiety and comfort
That's great to hear
Do you use frozen, canned or fresh pumpkin?
I bought the Ultimate Feline Cat multivitamin-mineral supplement and
on the Lable it states to, "Add 1 scoop to cat food daily".
But for recipe given you state, "Add Two scoops to 1 lb. of food."
Confused which to do, would you please comment. ? ?
Appreciate, Blessngs.
Absolutely terrific recipe! It’s been hard to find cat food on store shelves now and this will save our whole cat family, thank you so much! Do you have homemade dog food? Where can we order the krill and other vitamins?
Check in the human vitamin section of your grocery/ Costco etc store
He has other videos with dog recipes and vitamins that he sells too.
Unfortunately Affording To feed our 4 cats this is not in the budget . But Thank you
I wonder if I can use a touch of liquid cod liver oil instead of krill? Anyone?
@@shashakeeleh5468 You could probably ask at a Vitamin store or any pharmacist would know
This was very helpful.
Also, I love how Murray demands to be fed by hand. haha! We definitely are not the bosses in these relationships. 🤣
0:09 lmao, I thought the vet was Owen Wilson!!!
Wow
What about next meal? Would you grab the box and give to her cold or would you microwave it a little?
Also, what is the it’s fridge life?
Microwaving kills nutrients.
I tried giving my cat ground turkey, and he wouldn't touch it. I put it out for the ferals, and even they didn't want it, nor did the possums, raccoons, etc.
After putting it our for several days and nights something finally ate it.
I wondered just what people are eating that the animals refused to eat.
Thank you so much!!!! I have been looking for something that I could source easily and easy to follow.
All the ground turkey at the store has rosemary, which is toxic to kitties. What are your thoughts on this? I've been following you for years and really admire your work in holistic animal care!
I think your such an amazing vet, I was wondering how could we buy products that you use. Thanks for all your help to keep our pets well 😄
So what, you just made a ground turkey and added some pills to it and call it a cat food? Dude that's not cat food, that's just meat. I mean sure cat will be happy to eat pure meat, I mean I can skip all this ground part as well and just throw chicken pieces to my cat, he'll be the happiest cat ever.
Oh my, kitty is lovin it. I also want to thank you for a bouncy, playful 8 yr. old beauty. That’s right, our dog is now eating better than we. Thanks Doc! Her poopoo has really stepped up along with her energy. 🎀
***Urgent question*** 1 teaspoon of egg shells was roughly 5000 mg instead of 1000
Is it dangerous to have too much calcium?
Should i just go with 1000 mg as opposed to a teaspoon?
Excellent! Can you use beef? My cats love beef and are meh on poultry. What about using raw meat? Would you consider not drying out the egg shell? I’m thinking there’s probably quite a bit of nutrient loss in the membrane still on the shell.
Somebody recently gave me a low quality grain free dry cat food. My frugal side got the better of me and I mixed some in with the quality GF food I feed them (as a supplement to their wet). Well, it gave my 3 1yr old kittens the shitooskies. Before I threw out the bag, my little dog got into it. The next morning she vomited and had loose stools. Up until then I thought it was that the cats are still so young and haven’t been exposed to much of a variety of brands. I’m so disgusted with commercial foods. Your recipe, my dear sir, is very easy. Am passing yr video on to my sister. Pretty sure she’ll try it on her pickiest-eater-n-the-world cat, Miss Ruby.
What made me think of the egg membrane is Mercola’s cat & dog Joint Support uses egg membrane instead of glucosamine. Ok, this is so off topic it’s not even about cats… My old beagle has collapsing trachea, was choking so often throughout the day & night I was contemplating calling the hospice vet. Then I started giving him the Joint Support, followed the dose instructions, and he improved quickly. I couldn’t believe after all the other suggested products I tried to no avail, this worked for him! I’ve since added Grass Fed Bone and Marrow by Ancestral Supplements. I can’t run out of either, but especially not the Joint Support because if he’s off of it for only a day he’s back to choking like crazy and it takes several days for the supplement to get him back on track. I hate to sound like an advertisement. I am hoping this might help others’ pets. Collapsing trachea is so awful for our poor dogs and very stressful for their owners.
That’s incredible! Wow
Glad something helps him so well
I wish the cats would eat the raw eggshells but we couldn’t get them too. They did lick them sometimes (get the membrane). I think drying them to grind is best solution. You can save them once oven dried and grind a mess at once. Or rinse them, set out to air dry & store till u have alot and grind a mess at once.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah I’ve dried egg shells without rinsing and it worked out fine. One of my cats may eat wet shells. I’ll try it.
Hey sir could i ask a question?
I have some kittens and 3 adult cats
And they actually eat veggies i found a recipe that has
Boiled carrot pieces
Boiled potatoes
And chicken
And smash everything all up
and i really want to do that recipe 😺
Could i ask is this healthy for cats?
I just want to say thank you for making this video. What made me trust this video is the fact that it is not over-produced/over-edited and it isn’t filled with any generic looking science animations. You are genuinely just trying to teach people how to make good food for their pets, especially if they don’t want to go on the drastic route of a raw food diet. My cat’s coat has gone from dull and brittle to having a sheen and she seems to be shedding less. At the same time, she has more energy in these last couple of weeks and it is very refreshing to see her moving about more.
I even bought your multivitamin formula and mix it in with the food as you showed and I do believe it is absolutely helping her on the way to diabetic remission. I can’t find the sunflower oil in any local grocer so I’ve substituted olive oil for now, which reads as being safe for cats in similar doses and I’m also still transitioning them so it’s current;y mixing in with their Hill I/D wet food. But no complaints so far. I’ve been pulling back my cat’s kibble and using it as a treat, no more free feeding.
Thank you for this!
Good to know, I am going to mix up a batch of this soon. How long have you been feeding your cat(s) this recipe?
Does this food dissolve the 2 different kinds of crystals that form in the bladder of male cats?
Also, can i freeze it? My 2 boys are 20# each!
Egg shells are EGGcellent for humans too!
Same technique, sprinkle in food or take in water. I would use 1/4t a day to supplement my raw cultured dairy.
Don’t waste the shells!!
Actually you can take clean dry eggshells crushed and put in apple cider vinegar to make a tonic. The vinegar extracts the vitamins/minerals and it is interesting to watch the magic reaction it does together.
@@SaveOurWater how much crushed egg shells to how much vinegar? How much do u take of the tincture you make?
How many degreas temp
Thank you so much for your video. I’ve been looking at a lot of videos and I’ve already tried many different ways to entice my cat to eat healthier with homemade cat food. I use the egg shells from my chickens and all the other ingredients that you use. What would you recommend for them to want to eat it. They like the store-bought cat food and I know that it’s not good for them. I feed my dog, my homemade dog and she loves it, but the cats on the other hand do not like the cat food I make💗
I had a Siamese cat that lived twenty-three human years. The other three lived to be 18 human years old.:-) they were all rescued kittens. Thanks to dr. Andrew, I have more knowledge on how to take care of my 3 rescue dogs and one rescue cat now. Without breaking my wallet. Very thankful for Doctor Jones's veterinarian expertise. Keep up the good work Doctor Jones you've been a blessing to a lot of people and their pets
is this good for a cat with kidney stones?
My cat is 17 and very picky. She doesn't like turkey. Can I use ground chicken instead?
Your cat seems on the heavier side.. so well-fed. Whomever is your cat is so blessed!
Heavier but that much more to love! Some cats like people have bigger frames and bone structure and more weight seems ok with them.
Can anything else be added to help put weight on older kitten with this recipe ?
T.Y God Bless.
Thank you for this. I just love Murray, he's so squishy. He looks always looks mildly annoyed when you're moving your hands when talking. He wants you to be still. Such a typical kitty, demanding perfection at all times.
Sunflower oil!?!? I am sorry but that cant be good, are you serious? That is simply not true man.
You’re an awesome source of knowledge and kindness ! Thank you
Can I triple or quadruple the recipe? If I do, do I also triple and quadruple the vitamins? I like to bulk make the food and freeze it ahead of time.
Murray is so cute and fluffy. I would like to hug him. And Tula in the background is just as chill. Senior cats and dogs tend to be this way because of their age and I prefer this behavior more and that is why I gravitate towards senior pets.
What about Pottenger's Cat Study? Why would you cook the meat?
Doc, can you PLEASE come out with a series of these!! So many people are wanting to know how to make BALANCED species appropriate B.A.R.F. and carnivore meals for their cats and dogs. Thanks a lot for this video!
I just adopted a stray cat that was hit by a car and has a head tilt(neurological) his gate is fine and he can walk and run away from me 😂, I was wondering is there a diet I should be feeding him.?
Just cut the sun flower oil out and replace it with butter and cook the meat less so it has more taurine
thats one chunk of a car
I was hoping you would do a video like this! Thank you so much! I was wondering if you maybe had a tuna & salmon recipe, too? Love the coffee grinder for the egg shell. I can't wait to try this for my cats. 😁❤
Can i roast and grind multiple egg shells, to keep in a glass jar? Or is it being freshly ground important?
My 20 year old cat is picky . She loves beef liver , frozen fish cooked in the air fryer . Chicken meat . And she likes just a little. Jellied cranberries. I love your videos . Thank you
I would never add seed oils to my cat food. Cod liver oil (uncooked!) will deliver the omega fats they need. Water packed sardines are great for calcium.
Thank you so much for this easy video. After so much research people made this seem incredibly complicated and really try to dissuade you from making food for your pets
No offense, and I know you are a vet, but that cat looks overweight
Thankyou so much, new sub :) Im Vegan but my cat is not and my critters need what they need. I'm a Horticulturist who is now studying to become an Ornithologist with App Animal Science and Natural Medicine for Animals. I started out in life riding horses but went into App Human Sciences to become a Specialist Nutritionist/Biomechanist and Sports Coach... We have a shortage of Avian and Equine Vets out here in the country and am now full circle back 50 years later and back to my first love 'Critters' :) Anyway my now 27 year old cat Sha will appreciate this :)
With the ground flax it actually has the perfect balance of Omegas (No need for the Krill oil) trhe issues of omegas is their balance of 3:6:9 which means it doesn't matter how much you have if you dont have the right ratio in humans that is and dont see the differ in that nutrient requirement for the the Ine's criiter kingdom...
Stopped watching when you said sunflower oil
I made this exactly the way you did and my cats love it!!!!
Awesome
Cats are carnivores and oil is not in their natural diet, nor ours. The story of oils is eye opening, please use only the animals fat and not oils when making your cat's food.
Canned pumpkin isn't available where I live, so I buy pumpkin, which is extremely common here, and steam it for hubbie's favorite cake and pie recipes. I've always scooped out the stringy innards for my dogs. Once we got a cat, she chases the dogs off the pumpkin, and has her feed first, lol. I guess my entire family loves pumpkin!
How can I get a printed recipe of this ? Or a screen shot ? I got your book and it's not exactly close to this.
Looks good. I wish I could afford it! Is there a less expensive version for someone on food stamps? They don’t cover vitamins or supplements!
the taurine costs less than the canned cat food
Once you get all of the supplements it's way cheaper. Ground turkey and chicken is way cheaper than cat food. I have been buying hills digestive and for 3 cans a day for only 3 days it's 29.00 😮crazy I hope this works out so my 14 yr old cat doesn't throw up as much
I just watched Dr Marty "health cat food" I was horrified by all the healthy fruit and veggies he proudly rattled off. I'm only a high school graduate but I'm thinking Oh HELL NO! There's not a cat on the planet who would willingly eat that CRAP. My cats are 16, 17, 19 and so far so good. I feed them the same raw ground beef I eat, mixed with a top of the line grain free can food. I give them kidney and whole body supplements for cats by standard process. So far they're pretty healthy, but because I'm worried that I might not be doing the best for my babies I'm looking for guidance to keep them healthy and happy for many years to come.🙏
Thank you for this video! Didn't know you could do that with eggshells!
Why do cats do that? Not eat from the bowl but from our hand ha-ha. One of ours does this once in a while, even though the plates are all clean.
Thank you for this Andrew!
Can you consider doing a video or a few on dealing with cat bullies? I have a small rescue and currently house 21 cats. All the adults - except one who is sick, are spayed or neutered. The two biggest bullies are big adult male Sealpoint/Siamese mixes. I know their breed tends to dominate. How can I get them to mellow out?
Interestingly, I have a 16 yr old, declawed, thin Maine coon who is the only one who will kick their a$$ and gets them to back off. All she does is growl at them. I wish I could get her to train the others, lol. She’s the Queen and “no one messes with the Queen!”
I dont see you have any organ such as livers in your recipe. Can you share how do cats get vitiman a and d from?
Cats eat the intestines of their prey which quite often include veggies in that critter's diet. So they do consume veggies to some degree. Many carnivores eat some amount of grass and a few other veggies. I like Moringa. Super food. I think it would be beneficial in their diets as well as ours. Limiting the volume of carbs.
My cat only eats fish he doesn't like anything like chicken turkey etc 😢😢
I would change the sunflower oil to healthier oil as coconat oil. It's better for cats.
I’m really surprised at the sunflower oil use sunflower, lecithin, maybe
