Before you feed this
- Batchhound is a reference tool, not a veterinary authority. Nothing in it has been reviewed or validated by a veterinary nutritionist, and a recipe that passes every check here has not been approved by anyone.
- Do not feed a recipe built here to an animal without review by a qualified veterinarian or veterinary nutrition specialist who knows that animal.
- Ingredients often need preparation before they are safe to serve: removing bones, cooking meat, fish, and eggs, and rinsing to remove salt or pesticide residue. A nutrient figure says nothing about whether an ingredient is safe in the form you have it.
- Nutrient figures come from public sources such as USDA FoodData Central and from supplement labels. No one has independently verified them, and a real ingredient varies from any published average.
