The easiest way to explain it is to think of it like a very pretty meatloaf cake! The “cake” is made of meat (unless allergic/vegetarian), eggs, & rice The “icing” is made with mashed potatoes and yoghurt! I do use food colouring to decorate if the colours aren’t available from natural sources, but only a drop! The “icing” can alternatively be scraped off before feeding your pet if that’s a concern 😊
