Homemade salmon cat treats recipe:
This recipe is for a treat and topper. It is not a complete and balanced standalone meal.
Salmon is the main ingredient, with only one other ingredient!
I’ve included product links within the ingredients list below of what I use and recommend.
- 2 oz (56 gm) salmon
- 1 egg
I use the same salmon that I buy for myself. I buy the Keta portions (boneless, skin-on) from Wild for Salmon. And I get eggs from my local grocery store.
Nutritional benefits of this cat treat recipe
These cat treats are very easy to make and pack a high-nutrient profile.
- Salmon is high in protein, essential fatty acids, and vitamin D – all of which are great for your cat’s skin
- Eggs provide protein, healthy fats, and trace vitamins and minerals – an excellent superfood for cats
Salmon is also a great protein to use if your cat is cautious (not picky!) about new foods.
You can crush this treat and sprinkle it on top of new food while you’re transitioning.

How to make this homemade cat treat
I’m using the TopTrees pet treats maker for this recipe. This treats maker has a blender and an air dryer. The temperature is already set for you so you just press the button!
- Mix the ingredients in the mixer
- Spoon out about one teaspoon of the mix and spread it flat on the air drying racks
- Air dry for approximately 3.5 hours or until the treats are hard and breakable
Check out my meal prep list on Amazon for other supplies. I’ve found that these treats keep well in the refrigerator in a sealed container for about 3 weeks.

How much to feed your cat
Treats and toppers should not make up more than 10% of your cat’s total daily intake. Remember to remove equal parts of your cat’s current food so that you do not overfeed your cat.
You will have to adjust feeding amounts based on your individual cat. See how much to feed your cat for more instructions.

How I formulate recipes
I use Animal Diet Formulator to formulate recipes. However, this one is a bit more advanced and requires a monthly payment.
For beginners who want to formulate recipes, I highly recommend Paws of Prey Cat Meal Formulator. It’s very easy to use, includes a sample recipe, and it’s a one-time payment!
