3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined. Form the dough into a disc.

For all mixes and preparations, it is important not to add any salt or oil during the preparation process. As your pets’ stomach and kidneys are much more fragile than ours, it is important to treat them with extra care!
Remember the basic food mix provided is called “basic” for a reason. Feel free to add any other type of healthy food that your little treasure enjoys to make it delicious and healthy! It’s vital that you feed them in the correct amounts according to your cat’s age and energy level. The American Association of Animal Feed Control Officials publishes guidelines for the nutrient profile for cat food.
