Transfer the mixture into a greased oven-safe baking dish or small loaf pan. You can press it down gently to form a compact loaf or keep it loose like a casserole.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the meat is fully cooked through and the casserole is heated evenly. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before serving to your dog. This prevents any risk of thermal burns. Once cooled, you can slice it like a meatloaf or break it apart like a casserole.

Ensure all ingredients are dog-safe and free from toxic seasonings. Consult a vet for specific dietary needs.
