Put it on high for four hours , stirring every hour so things don’t stick. For our Shih Tzu (20 lbs), we feed him 150 g twice a day. We freeze it so that we can take out 4 to 5 days food at a time. It also allows us to put it in a cooler when we take multiple day trips.
I know that I have mixed the English and metric systems. However when we buy meat, it comes in pounds. Also, as cooks we have gone to weighing most major ingredients.

Thanks for your recipe! Do you give him any added vitamins or supplements? How do you know if this recipe is nutritionally complete to meet all of his needs? Thats what has stopped me from completely switching to homemade dog food. I fear omitting a key component or overdoing one.
