Stir everything together gently. Cover the slow cooker and cook on the low setting for 4-6 hours, or until all ingredients are thoroughly heated and well combined. The texture should be soft and easily mashable.
Once cooked, remove the slow cooker from the heat. Allow the dog food to cool completely before serving. You can mash it slightly with a fork if your dog prefers a softer consistency.
