It is difficult feeding such a small Yorkie as he doesn't eat much anyway and he gets bored with the same foods over and over.

I have also researched that the dog foods on the market are full of chemicals and rubbish and we should just feed dogs fresh meat, rice and veg.

Anyway, I will be more responsible for now on and be "cruel to be kind" even though he does love junk food!
If you are feeding more than 10% homecooked and/or treats, supplements have to be added to balance the recipe or serious health problems can results. A canine nutritionist can balance the recipe for you.
