I raised my second yorkie completely on homemade food and she is very, very healthy with the best appetite I have ever seen in a yorkie. Well, what I do is this: Once every two weeks, I boil up three cup of rice (no salt) and drain. Then I add a cup of pureed veggies and fruits, about 3lbs of raw meat, a little bit of chopped garlic, 2 teaspoons of soy sauce, parsley, a little bit of olive oil, a vitamin E supplement (I don't supplement Vitamin A since I make sure that I puree carrots and add it to the mixture). I also get a great organic powder supplement from a local vet shop which includes kelp, bone meal, etc. Lastly I add a calcium supplement.

So, I mix all of these together and then divide it up for fourteen days' worth of meals, ziplocking and freezing it afterwards. I simply defrost a bag per day and voila: They love it! One batch lasts both of mine for two weeks, more or less.

I got this recipe from Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Dog Nutrition. What's nice about it is that you can change it up, adding different kinds of meat and veggies. I would recommend that you get this book. I constantly use it as a reference.
Hope this helped!
