Instructions

  1. Check the ingredients: Review every ingredient before starting. Use plain chicken and plain plain cooked oats with no salt, seasoning, sauces, or sweeteners.

  2. Prepare small pieces: Cut or mash the chicken into pieces that match your pet's size and chewing style. Keep the texture soft and easy to portion.

  3. Add the support ingredient: Fold in the plain cooked oats a little at a time so the mixture stays balanced and not too rich.

  4. Adjust the texture: Add a small spoonful of water only if the mixture needs softening. The finished texture should be moist, simple, and easy to serve in a small amount.

  5. Cool before serving: Let any cooked ingredient cool fully. Never serve hot food, and do not rush this step.

  6. Serve a small test portion: Offer a small amount beside your pet's regular food. Watch appetite, stool, and comfort after the first serving.
