For the production of dry food at home as a main ingredient can be used not only meat, but also offals (heart, stomach). From the liver it is better to refuse, because it has a lot of biologically active substances, which can lead to disruption of metabolic processes.

From frequent feeding pork from Pets, particularly cats, can develop pancreatitis, renal failure, cirrhosis of the liver.
To do food based on fish as well as it should. Seafood is abundant in protein, which is digested, but it leads to an increased load on the kidneys of the animal. In addition, in cats when used in a fish disturbed the mineral balance, which leads to the development of kidney stones. The dog fish is also desirable to include in the diet, especially the river.
In the role of auxiliary ingredients are usually oats, bran, fish oil, greens, eggs and even honey. Salt dry food of own production in any case it is impossible! Salt Pets did not need.
