Preparation
Step 1:
How to poach salmon for dogs
Place salmon in a pan on top of the stove, add water to just cover fish.
Cover and cook until salmon is opaque throughout, about 5 minutes (longer for thicker fillets). Using a wide slotted spatula, remove salmon from liquid.
It is important that all bones are removed from the fish. Bone splinters can pierce your dogs digestive system.
Step 2:
Prepare lentils for dog food recipe
Cook lentils on a stove top, using 1 1/2 cups of water for the 1/2 cup of dry lentils. Be sure to use a large enough saucepan as the lentils will triple in size. Bring to a boil, cover tightly, reduce heat and simmer until they are tender. For whole lentils, cook time is typically 15-20 minutes.
Step 3:
Add Azestfor vitamin minerals to salmon and lentil grain free dog food
When the fish and lentils are cool to touch you can add the Azestfor nutritional supplements. Combine all ingredients and serve.

Storage
The recipe can be prepared in large batches and frozen. It will keep for up to a year in the freezer, or one week in the fridge.
Freezing vitamins preserves their potency. I would recommend portioning the food into meal size servings before freezing it.
To defrost a frozen meal – put it in the fridge overnight.
Feeding Guidelines
We suggest dividing the daily amount into two servings, one in the morning and one in the evening.
Every dog’s nutritional requirements are a little bit different due to age & amount of exercise.
If your dog is losing weight, increase food by 1/4 cup a day, if they are gaining weight reduce accordingly.

I love your product but I wish it included fiber content per serving. I also buy Just Food For Dogs DIY kits and they include fiber info. I have a dog that has spine problems and was having fecal incontinence. We have been able to control it with chiropractor adjustment, acupuncture and low fiber diet. Just a thought. Thank You
