Tips for Recipes

A basic rule is to not feed your pet things you would not eat yourself.  

Try to use wheat flour only in place of any other as they can do potential harm to your pet. 

Try to use molasses in place of a sweetener. Sugar isn't good for an animal, and can cause damage to an animal's system. 

Vegetables are good for feline pets.  You can also mix it with their regular food.  Most popular vegetable among cats are carrots. (Acey loves corn and Skittles loves plain pasta noodles and breads).
