| How about scrambled eggs with no salt and oil. My yorkie loves it every morning but her vet told me not to feed her egg everyday because she's getting fat now. I once in a while cooked chicken liver and mixed it with some rice. |

| Donna from Iowa You can't just feed your baby protein, that throws off the balance and is not good. The recipe above yours is a good one. Know how much your baby weighs and adjust accordingly, also so you can know how much to feed her each day. I feed my little 4lb. Yorkie 1/2 c. two times daily. You also have to MAKE SURE you put in 800-1,000mg of Calcium nitrate per lb. of food you make. Even though you may be giving supplements. If you only have one fur kid you can cut the amounts down or increase them to freeze what you have left into containers that will last a week or so for your baby. There are many recipes on this site, look them up and try them. JUST make sure you give her a vitamin each day (supplement) and the Calcium 800-1,000 per lb. of food you make. I make mine, let it cool and then weight out one pound and put in the crushed calcium, until I am finished. I use one of those little blenders to crush the calcium. Good Luck Last edited by Donna from Iowa; 09-03-2016 at 07:52 AM. |

| My little Penny passed away last night I don't know if the KC put a strain on her already weak heart or she already was in the last stages of heart disease. She had a severe heart murmur. I hope it wasn't the KC as she got that off Alfie who got it at the vet and so I feel mad at the vets. I had just figured out what food she liked too. She lover all the ingredients made into a meat loaf and went to the shop yesterday to get everything to make some up. Alfie is doing well except for missing his sister.

| I am so very sorry, I feel your pain, been there before and still feel the loss and sadness. I have tried to post but for some reason it didn't let me. I gave up. I know where you are coming from. I have made some big adjustments in my little ones lives. I can only feel it is for the best, been down so many roads and seems like they money you do death, food companies as well with AWFUL products and we are trusting and believe them. NO MORE for me. I am Home cooking because THEN I KNOW what is going into their little mouths. I had them on prescription canned food and kibble for years and finally turned the can around and typed in ingredients I didn't know what was: product in cardboard and sawdust. That made me FURIOUS!!! I have checked many with results that completely astound me. NO More of that!!! I have found that home cooking is really rather fun and my little ones love it. I am getting ready to take the biggest step and take my little ones to a Holistic DVM, they can't be any worse than some of the dogtor's are that would sell that crap to us to give our kids. I'm sorry, I am really not mad at them, I am just through with it all. My little ones only have me to keep them well, safe and loved, time I quit trusting and start doing!!!! |

| Hi everyone, thank you for all your kind words about Penny's passing. I still miss her so much but to cut a long story short, we are now the proud parents of another mad wee Yorkie baby called Lola. Lola is 13 weeks old today and she is currently on Royal Canin. My question is should I change her food now to home cooking or should I wait until she is house trained as her stools will be a bit softer?

| Best dry food Hello YT I wanted to know if anyone can recommend the best dry food for a small yorkie. I want to give him the healthiest one that can also cater to a sensitive stomach to be safe. |

| Garlic I am new to the forum. I have a 4mo old Yorkie named Muffin. May I ask why there is garlic in some of the recipes in this thread? I thought garlic, onions, etc were toxic to dogs? Thanks for reading. |

| will try the SPOT'S CHICKEN STEW thank you. I'll try to SPOT'S CHICKEN STEW for my Yorkie. Isn't garlic something we should not include? I read the onions and garlic should not be added to dogs food. Is this OK or not OK? I am a new dog owner. Thank you. |

| Love this recipe. Personally I'd cut the coconut portion in half. I had a bad experience with my own health and coconut oil. I started putting in in everything, drinks, yogurt, smoothies..etc. in addition to taking a large tablespoon every morning. Long story, started having a lot of neck pain and headaches short..my cholesterol numbers hit the roof. |

| That isn’t a balanced meal you need to get a re pie from a vet nutritionist.
