Can Cod Liver oil be added while making Cat's Raw foods in liu of wild salmon oil ? I am trying to make this -----> http://www.catinfo.org/makingcatfood.htm I can't find wild salmon oil all around where i lve..|||Yes, it can. Be careful, though - one capsule of Cod Liver Oil can contain 10,0000 IU of Vitamin A & D, which is fat soluable and can create toxicity if fed too much over time - so I would only give Cod Liver Oil maybe once or twice a week, not every day, and in very small amounts. If you're feeding liver (which I assume you are if following that recipe & feeding raw), liver is also high in Vitamins A & D, so an overdose of Vitamins A & D is quite possible when supplementing with Cod Liver Oil, too. Just be aware. Very small amounts once or twice a week are OK. You can also feed oily whole fish -- like no-salt/spring water sardines/herring/mackerel (high in Omega 3's & 6's) ... they also have meat & bones in them, and because they are canned (cooked), thiaminase has been destroyed so there's no risk of Vitamin B1 loss (the recipe calls for additional Vitamin B complex to be added anyway). You could feed whole raw fish, too - I don't because of the thaiminase concern (and all the fish that don't contain it, like trout and salmon, are heavily polluted)... but I'd still say it's fine in small amounts as an infrequent treat. But if you're going to feed regularly, make sure it's canned and a no-salt spring water variety. I feed my cat a raw/whole food diet, and I skip the fish oil and feed whole canned fish. IMO, whole prey is always better. Plus, my cat loves it. I don't feed fish as a whole meal, but rather as part of a meal, as the recipe describes. The main bulk of my cat's food is whole chicken, including chicken bones, chicken kidneys, beef heart, chicken gizzards & hearts (when I can find them), raw egg yolks (with shells), and chicken or beef liver. Make sure to supplement with Vitamin E. (The recipe calls for Vitamin E anyway.)|||I would call a vet and ask as some fish are deadly to cats and dogs, and even though this is not the meat just the oil, you never know. Some oils, like cod liver do specific things, to people, not sure if they would affect a cat in the same way, but since other oils are not sold for that function for people, I would think that the samon oil is a known "safe" oil, where as "cod" might not be.|||Tonka has given you good dietary advice so I won't add to it. Earlier you asked about doing lab work. I found this: http://www.2ndchance.info/normaldogandca鈥?/a>
