My yorkie is a 13 lb mix but my 5 lb Chi loves the chicken wings. You'd have to pry them from her cold, dead paws.
Cooked bones can splinter and get stuck in the throat causing choking or cutting.
We don't exclusively feed raw anymore because we had to move into a rental with a tiny, tiny freezer and I have four dogs. We can't move anywhere else because this is the only one that will allow me to have all four of them here.
When we did do raw exclusively, I didn't add veggies to their meals. However, we were traveling often and we used the Honest Kitchen then which contains veggies. Also, we'd give veggies as snacks and chews.
The green stuff next to the chicken is tripe. They love that stuff. Be warned- the smell is HORRIBLE. The first time I used it, I tossed my cookies.
I often made my own pre-made meatballs because I found it to be less expensive and I could control the quality of the meat used.
