I am sorry but I really want to do a good diet for my yorkie. I don't want to get into it that much but 10 years ago a got a s**t Zue puppy and when he was 2 he develop cancer has had seisues and by reading now and searching and now looking back I know is what I fed him. I have been reading this past couple of weeks all I can on raw food. I really want to start my yorkie right this time. I feel so guilty with my s**t Zue. 
thank you all so much for all your great tips and sites.

No, I do not cook the chicken at all. The bones, if uncooked are very pliable and they don't splinter. You would NEVER want to feed your pup chicken bones that have been cooked. I really do just take raw chicken, either boneless or with bone in and feed it to her. Chicken legs are better than wings as wings have a bit too much bone and not enough meat. While it may seem a little odd and scary at first, I would encourage you to research it and see if it is for you. My dogs have done wonderfully on it. And the added benefit is because of the bones, my yorkie has beautiful teeth, even the vet has remarked on how nice her teeth are!

I'm a little nervous as she has a very sensitive stomach, but I feel that in the long run she needs what is best for her. Do you prepare the food or do you buy it pre-packaged (and if so which brand did you decide to go with). I'm trying to figure out what is best for her, how much everything costs and how I can fit it into our life (ie when we travel).
Thanks!  |
You know, my collie always had a sensitive tummy but she took to the raw and really did wonderfully, she actually just passed away (she was 12). I made the switch to raw about a year ago after the vet told us that she thought she might have cancer. We never confirmed it but she did so well for the last year that I really am glad I made the switch for her sake and I only wish I had done it years ago, maybe she'd still be with us!
