I started feeding my Milly raw about two months ago. She is doing really well. The recipe is on the internet and after doing hours of research, I decided to try it. It is promoted by Dinovite, a nutritional supplement for dogs manufactured here in the USA. It is really simple and she loves it. She is a VERY picky eater. Milly is only my second yorkie. My first little girl passed away during knee surgery (she was only 6 years old and I was devastated, she was one of those once in a lifetime dogs). But, now I have sweet Milly. She is 3 years old and very healthy but a picky eater with weepy eyes that need to be cleaned every day. I have tried so many dog foods, dry, wet, dehydrated, frozen, fresh. I cooked for my other little girl, so thought I would give it a try for Milly. Have tried many recipes over the last few years (most she didn't like), but she really loves this simple raw carb free recipe:

-2 cups raw Ground Beef (calls for 70/30 but I use less fat, usually 88/12)
-1 1/4 Tablespoons LickOchops (Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids and natural source of vitamin C)
-2 hard boiled eggs WITH shells. Crumble shells into small pieces or grind them. Eggshells and their lining contain calcium and glucosamine.
-1 to 2 Tablespoons Dinovite for Dogs (digestive enzymes, trace minerals, fatty acids, vitamins and Direct Fed Microbials).

Mix all of this together and you have your raw feed dog food. I separate this into portion size meatballs and freeze them. I take out three at a time the night before and I feed her a 1.2 ounce meatball (cut up into small pieces) 2 to 3 times a day. She weighs 12 lbs (bigger than a lot of yorkies, but healthy weight for her structure).

You can get the recipe, the Dinovite and the LickOchops at Dinovite.com. They also have a recipe that includes rice, if you prefer to have some carbs in there.

Milly is doing really well on this. Her weepy eyes are a little better and she really likes this food. She also gets a few treats. She loves frozen green beans and the Nub-0-Nubs that Dinovite sells (freeze dried beef pieces). She gets a few other things, but not much. Except a Virbac Dental Chew once a day.
