Homemade Cat Food Recipes Vet Approved | Basic Blueprint 

Thank you ! I have 5 cats and was never comfortable feeding them canned food plus it gets very expensive. I always wanted to make their meals for them ! ❤

Thank you for not just the recipe, but especially for explaining why each ingredient is included.

Thank you so much for this, much appreciated!

Thanks so much, Doc! This is exactly the kind of tutorial I was looking for. Such wonderful information. Bravo!

Thank you! Glad I found this channel

Thank you so much! I really love this. My cats so enjoy the homecooked meals!❤😻🐾

thank you, this is such an easy-to-follow guide!

Great recipe! Thank you so much for sharing this!

Love how you explain this and even added graphic for visual aid.

Fantastic recipe, thank you!!

Thank you for this wonderful and informative video! I am doing research to feed my two ten year olds and my five year old.

Today I watched a video of how dog food is made and what’s in it. Can’t imagine it being any different for cats. Felt miserable. Had I known I would have not given them commercial food! Your recipe is the best I’ve seen by far and I’ve put in an order. I really hope it works out with my picky cat lol!

Thank you I have 4 cats 2 with special needs and it gets expensive buying quality cat food. This will save SOOOO much money ❤

Thank you so so much for your video !!! ❤❤

Thank you! I loved it and I’ll do it at home for my fur babies.

Thank you so much!

Thanks for your valuable information and good narration

Love this -- shared with some people on facebook that were looking for healthier options THANK YOU

Looks like a good recipe! Eggs sure aren't cheap any more but still worth adding if available! Thank you.

Thank you!

Love this. Herman Munster enjoys all of your goodies from your amazing cookbook!

These are the important facts to remember, very nice.

Thank you for this video!!! Great info

Thank you for this recipe

Great job, Thank you

Interesting. Just watched another cat food home made video by another vet and he says NO vegetables in his recipe as well as no carbs. I would think vegetables are good for them after all they eat grass. I actually liked this video and am going to try this for our 7cats. ❤❤❤

Thank you for this recipe!

This was so helpful. Thank you!

Best video yet

I'm definitely trying a version of this tonight.

Plus you can bake & grind the egg shells for calcium! Best source for that.

I've found that the servings of Meomix I've been feeding my cat no longer sates him. He's about 6-years-old, so maybe his dietary needs have changed, or, perhaps Meowmix is cutting their food with filler to keep prices down in a market where cat food prices have become absurdly high. Either way, little guy deserves better eats. This video was a good guide for what to and not to put in it. I may not outright go full time homemade, but it's probably a good idea to supplement his diet with some homemade meals.

This is great video. I blead mine up in my blender and then cook in the crockpot. I feed 4 cats so far there very happy healthy kitties .

very practical video, thank you

thanks for this! Very easy to do and not overwhelming like other videos 😅

thanks so much!

Thank you so much ❤

Great, I will try it 🙌

Thank you

My old man is getting pickier and I need to start making a healthy diet for him. Thank you for this ❤

I am so glad I found you! I had 3 cats which turned into 9! My cat had last 2 litters so we kept most of them. My question is how many times a day should I feed them this and how many batches a week should I make? I have been buying them the Kirklands dry cat food because at one point it was just too many cats. So now that we decided to have 9 cats I want them to be on the same holistic eating lifestyle.

Catnip! What a great idea. Lemme give that a try.

Nice recipe. Thanks for sharing! I saw you’re adding the whole eggs. I’ve always heard/learned that vets always recommend to remove separate the egg whites and only add the yolk. Let us know what you think!

I just got the premix and Icelandic oil and made my first batch. It's a hit! My kitten has IBS and I'm hoping that this will do the trick. At first I thought it was a little pricey but at $2 a 2.5 ounce can of special kitten food I think I'm gonna save money in the long run.

This is such a helpful video! My cat was diagnosed with IBD and I am trying to transition him out of a diet of hydrolyzed kibble so he’ll get more nutrition. Do you ever serve this immediately without chilling it first? If not, how long to chill?

I came across this video the other day and out of many I have watched yours was the most informative. I went to your site and downloaded the free mini cookbook and decided to and bought the full paperback cookbook for cats. I haven't owned a cat since mine died back in 2011 and recently a stray cat has adopted us. We took him in and took him to be scanned.... not microchipped and not neutered either. He looks to be about 3 yrs old they said when I got him scanned. Here the law is you have 30 days to actively look for potential owners and I did that for over a month while I fostered him as the shelters here are overrun with cats and kitten season has begun but 2 weeks ago the shelter told me that it has been 2 months no and no one has come forward and I could bring him in and they would prepare to try to adopt him or if I wanted to keep him I could as the 30 day period has lapsed. We chose to keep him and now he is part of our family. I've had him on ACANA cat food...... he gets half wet and half dry per day. (he just grazes on the dry cat food so he doesn't get much at all.... 1/2 - 3/4 c per day if that.) And the ACANA canned cat food ingredients look good but the cost is just crazy. Here it costs $2.79 for a 5.5 oz. can. For a months worth that is about $84 a month. I've been researching and wanting to switch him to homemade cat food which I'm seeing is healthier for them anyway. Thank You for sharing this video. I learned so much from it. Now in your recipe for the 1 lb. meat can that be 1 lb of regular meat (meaning not the prepackaged ground meat)? Like I was thinking buying bone in chicken thighs, skin on and boiling them and making my own bone broth.... just water and the meat...... and then removing the chicken from the broth and let cool before removing all meat from the bones and then blending like you did the ground chicken. Just curious. Again thank you for sharing your expertise.

Thank you so much I’m considering adopting a stray cat and want it to be affordable!

Thank you 🙏 just what I needed, God bless you

We also add olive oil and nutritional yeast to their food.

Thank you for making such a clear video! I was really looking for something that was actually vet approved. I was wondering, I have no problem dealing with organ meat and actually in supermarkets near me it's really affordable. How does the ratios here change if I'm using organ meat? Can I use mostly organ meat instead of other meats ( it's a lot cheaper than other meat) i've got access to heart, liver, and gizzards. Also, how can we incorporate bone? Would it have to be raw or cooked down or grounded? Thank you so much in advance!

super helpful and i think it’ll be cheaper than buying cat food! do you have a recipe book for dog food too?

Thankyou so much! I’ve been searching for the right recipe and this is it!💕💕😽😽

I'll give it a try with my fussy cats. They prefer chunky gravy style so I guess less time in blender. Also can I add some chicken hearts?. Or chicken liver? Would I leave out some of the ground turkey to keep same ratio of meat to supplements?

Hey, Doc! I went through your cat cookbook and noticed that it says 80% lean meat for all recipes. Most ground chicken I find at the grocery store has misleading labels saying that it's " low calorie" or "skinless" but doesn't state a percentage.. so I decided to make my own minced chicken 😀.. I'm feeding a kitten so which parts do you suggest that I use and how much of each part? Should I remove the skin or keep some? Thanks for your efforts 😊

Thank you very much for the healthy food options. I've been feeding my dogs Chicken thighs, kale, sweet potatoes carrots and the mix for the last 3 months. They look great. Question, can i feed my cat chicken thighs? Do I need to remove the skin? Thank you!!

Thank you so much God bless you I got subscribe ❤

I love your recipe but wondering do I just keep in the refrigerator for a week? Do you feed it cold or remove it 30 minutes prior to feed time? How much and how often? I’m so excited to follow your recipe! Thank you so much for showing step by step ! Very helpful.

Got my supplements today so making a half batch to see if my extremely picky cats will eat this? Fingers crossed!!

Such a dope vid

Could you make a ckd cat recipe? I’m thinking of buying the premix and start cooking homemade for her

Hello, thank you so much for the recipe. Could you please tell me how long can we use a batch after preparing it? And do we have to store it in the freezer?

thank you so much for the recipe!!! what is your advice on refrigerating the pate? how long can i keep it in the fridge for/is it better to freeze it??

Thank you so much!I have 17 stray cats and I’ve always felt that canned food isn’t healthy or good for them so I almost never give it to them now I have a healthy recipe that they hopefully like as m6 cats are very picky.I also cant deal with organs so that I know about a safe organ powder I will be sure to buy it!

Wonderful video! I've been wanting to make my cats homemade cat food and this is easy to follow. I think I will pass on the organ meat. I am a vegetarian and that would just be too hard for me, although I realize my cats need meat. Turkey meat it will be. My cats also prefer pate.

Thank you so much for the recipe! I wanted to ask you, how much liver would you say is recommended to give our cats?

Very helpful thank you😀😺 Can I bag seal portions and freeze them?

I love this recipe. I'm a little on the fence about feeding my diabetic cat pumpkin but I really want the good nutrients it has. Is pumpkin high in carbohydrates and not great for diabetic cats or is it okay?

Amazing thank you I am going to try this. I want to try a healthier option for my cats rather than the store stuff. One cat is on canin fiber response for chronic constipation issues. Luckily he hasn't had a bout in a few years. Do you think this could potentially be a good digestion alternative for him? He's 10 this year so I am extremely cautious and very aware of his day to day food/med intake as well as his potty breaks but I always wonder in the back of my head if natural food would keep him healthy without all the extra scripts

Hi! Thank you so much for this recipe. Can this be given to cats with urinary issues?? Edit: In case this isn't a proper diet for cats with urinary issues then will I find alternatives in your cookbook?

Thank you for your video. Just bought it. 2:32 I Hope it’s going to work. My cat had a UTI and the vet wants him to be on a special diet. I know these special foods aren’t healthy but it avoids future UTI , I want to add this natural food to his diet and monitor him to see how it goes I Hope One day he won’t Need the special food anymore and only eat fresh food. 🤞🏽

Wondering if the pate can be frozen. Thanks for the vid. Made it without the powders, for now

I have a really fussy cat who loves the high quality food trial boxes and then turns his nose up as soon as I order the first box, so I am hoping home cooked meals will prove the better option as he only seems to like commercial brand food consistently (which I hate). Although this is a nightmare for me as a vegan, his diet comes above my morals and this is very helpful and easy to follow, thank you !

Thank you. I’ve been feeding my one cat tiki cat after dark because she can’t digest bones in the raw feed I give the other cats and she is sensitive to hormones antibiotics anything that may be in raw that is distributed in bulk. Tiki is helping her a lot but it’s too expensive. Can you freeze this? How long can it keep in the fridge? I’ve made home cooked once but this recipe seems way easier. And yes I’ve been adding pumpkin to her diet which is definitely helping.

Oh thank you for the guide! Can I use Tilapia as my one pound of meat? Or should it be poultry or beef only?

I buy the premium cat food (I have 5 cats, 2 kittens, 2 teens and 1 senior), but lately been considering converting to a real food diet. I had a dog that's life expectancy was supposed to be 8-10, but lived to 14 and I'm convinced its because I fed him real food. Thank you for the recipe. 1 question, does the premix have calcium? I was going to add egg shells to it but not sure if its required.

hello! great recipe. but can we feed our cats with this recipe every day? or is it a delicious snack for them?

May I ask you, after you add bone broth do you still cook it, or you turned the heat off? Looks like great recipe, thanks for sharing. I have three cats, of 12, 14 and 16 years old, always fed them with dry food but it seems they have enough of it, they just won't eat it any more.

Hi, just found your channel. Do you perhaps have a dry kibble cat/kitten recipe? And could you shed light for me on why cat foods all contain more than 1 meat source? Sorry if this is a daft question, I'm a new cat momma and thinking of making his food myself. I love that you give a substitute for the omega 3 oils. Is it possible that there's a recipe without bought supplements added? i.e taurine etc. Thank you for the quality content ❤️ 🙂

We have chicken, turkey, fish flavored cat food. Why not mouse/rat flavored. They could use the NYC rats make them into food- problem solved...am I wrong?

Can you make a couple weeks, or a month’s worth ahead of time? If so, is it a matter of freezing everything and thawing out as needed? Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video.. really needed some guidance on this .. i have one question though, what is the quantity for an adult cat and how many times u feed them.. (im not looking for a professional response i just want to know how many times i should feed my cat)

Hi, you mentioned NZ grass fed organ meat. Is that in powder form? I live in NZ, is there a link to that? Thanks for your cat recipe, going to try it in our 16 year old darling puss cat 😺

This looks like a good easy recipe. I have 5 cats now…our last one being a last minute pick up from mother in laws home. He has ibs so my husband is not thrilled he will have to be on a special diet. In a perfect world, thinking if I could transition all of them to a homemade, it would be better for everyone. How long does this last? One week?

Hi! I just found this video, but I'm in Australia so I'm trying to figure out how to do it with what I have access too. I was also wondering with the pumpkin or if I use carrot- do I cook it first? It looks in the video like its cooked so I thought I'd just ask to make sure. I also don't know how to find a nutrient mix here, so any advice with that ? Thank you :)

Thank you! Is this good if my cat has kidney problems? I used to give him urinary food but now he’s not chewing properly and is getting pretty underweight

Question, I ordered the feline premix and it came in the mail ( woohoo! ) but I don't see Taurine in the ingredients list and am concerned if I need to add it or not -- I know how important Taurine is for kitties!

How much you feed them and how many times per day from a 1lb batch? How long can we store the cooked batch in the freezer?

Thank you for this, I want to start making my own food too for my furry partner. If I do buy the organs, do I incorporate it with the turkey? Or that will be separate and also how much?

New subscriber here! do you have any recipe recommendations for cats diagnosed with chronic kidney disease or is there anyway to modify the existing recipes you have?

I’ve been looking for stuff like this! I hate buying bagged/canned food for my cat but always assumed it would be difficult to make. This seems rather easy! Maybe I missed it, but how long will the food be good for in the refrigerator?

I was curious as to if rabbit can be used? I feel that a fat source would be needed, but mayhaps could be done by using a bit more coconut oil?

I’m looking to make this for my two Bengals . One of them is an extremely fussy eater and pukes every single day because he doesn’t like any food I ever give him. Blood work and other testing shows he’s fine, so I’m really hoping this will help him out.!!

How long can this safely sit out? I will be slowly adding to my cat’s kibble and am wondering how long to give it if he doesn’t take to it, before it goes bad?

Thank you for the recipe! Is this recipe safe for kittens and does it freeze well?

Thank you. My cat has an allergy yo beef. He violently throws up every time he consumes it. Do you have a suggestion for an alternative vitamin mix that doesn't contain either beef or fish?

Can you use quail eggs or is it best to use pasture raised eggs?

I am feeding 14 outside cats and growing need recipes that make lots

We was just discussing holistic vets yesterday. We've been wanting to change our cats diet, getting rid of the store bought cat food. Do you have any suggestions for cats that are picky eaters? We have 9 cats. The oldest is 10 (part Siamese), 7 (tuxedo), 5 (tuxedo), and the rest are 2.

Two of my cats prefer pureed or broth type food ...can this be thinned out to that consistency? Can these recipes be canned in a pressure cooker to make shelf stable canned food?

What is another good brand to use other than the holistic vet blend? Something budget friendly if possible. I want to do this but the price for those is a little out of my budget.
