Once everything is cooked, mix together with the meat. I personally don't cook the meat (I let the heat of the other ingredients cook it superficially), in order to preserve the nutrients. Overcooking kills the nutrients. Make sure lentils and rice are well cooked however! Transfer portions into containers and store in the freezer. I personally use the large Bonlac yoghurt pots for this. List of human foods NOT suitable for dogs: ONIONS, GARLIC, CHOCOLATE, RAISINS, AVOCADO, GRAPES, NUTS, COFFEE, SPICES, any COOKED bones (choking hazard as cooking makes them brittle) More tips to cook your own dog food: http://dogs.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Home_Cooked_Dog_Food ALSO: Learn how to read commercial dog food labels here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_IKSXnd7sQ hope your pup enjoys it!
