  1. I'm new to making my own cat food, so maybe this question has an obvious answer that I just don't see... how do I prepare the food?

    Do I bake, fry, saute, or grill the chicken? Does it matter whether the rice is cooked in a steamer or by traditional stove-top method?

    Thanks for your patience!

  2. I am tired of buying special, expensive food for my Samantha's kidney failure that she either won't eat unless I mix it with other food or she throws it up.
    I see in your recipes you add potassium chloride.
    Looking up the safety of potassium chloride and potassium citrate it says they should not be used with kidney stones or kidney failure. I have potassium citrate but - IS IT SAFE to use ?
    Help !!
