Meal for a Cat

*cats should be fed two meals per day

• 1/2 cup organic cooked ground turkey or beef (90% lean:10% fat)
• 1/2 hard boiled egg (duck egg preferred)
• 2 tbsp organic ground or pureed vegetables, such as pumpkin, squash, peas, cantaloupe or asparagus (or organic baby food)
• 1 tbsp cooked salmon (or) 1 sardine
• 250 mg taurine (Very important!)
• 250 mg calcium citrate (*balanced with magnesium and vitamin D)
• 5 drops cod liver oil (approx. 50 IU)
• 5 drops liquid vitamin E (approx. 50 IU)
• 30 mg coenzyme Q10

Once a Week

• 2 tbsp organic liver

Optional

• 1 tbsp quinoa (or) couscous if your cat is more than 10 years old, or has a tendency to become constipated.
• 1 tsp minced fresh organic parsley daily. Parsley has many benefits including kidney cleansing and providing antioxidants that can help prevent gingivitis.

Important Notes

• It’s important to weigh your cat when beginning any new diet. Having a baseline and tracking their weight will help you in adjusting quantities should they lose, or gain too much.
• If your cat has a history of urinary tract infections, struvite or calcium oxalate stones, please ask your veterinarian for guidance.
• Track your cat’s urinary pH because it’s directly linked to, and impacted by their diet. You can buy pH strips at most pharmacies. The normal pH level for cats 6.0.
