I have two Yorkies, both age 8. My boy has weighed as much as 14 pounds. Before I started cooking for him, he was about 12 pounds. Now he's about 10-11 pounds. He looks better.
My girl looks the same with the same activity level.
I am a chef and nutritionist, so I am concerned about nutrients. I vary their diet (vegetables and starches) about every 3-4 days. I have heard mixed things about giving them vitamins/supplements. I hear that people food is mostly deficient in calcium and such.
I asked the vet, and she said to find a credible blog with credible recipes. If I follow the recipes, it should be sufficient. A vet friend told me to pick up just any dog multi-vitamin.
Has anyone done any research about this? I want to make sure I'm taking good care of my dogs.
Thanks!
