Notes
Tips:
- Cool it all the way before you store it so it does not spoil early.
- Freeze it in meal-size portions so you can pull out exactly one serving.
- Leave out salt, onion, and garlic. Those are for my food, not his, and onion and garlic are not safe for dogs.
- Switch your dog over slowly, mixed with their current food. Check with your vet before introducing any new food, and let your vet set how much and how often to feed your dog.
