Veggies have no fat in them and are great healthy snacks.
Boiled chicken has no fat, it's cooked out, which is why it's healthy
to add to their kibble.
They will gobble up their kibble if chicken and veggies are added to it.
If you have a picky eater this is one healthy way of getting them to eat.
It's also important that a Yorkie not get too much protein.
So be careful how much protein your kibble has in it. I wouldn't give
more than 24grams of protein per serving.
Why is protein not good for dogs, or that much rather~? I do give carrots or other veggies to him now and then. Read my post on "Eating Issues Again: Chef Michael".
