| Chicken Breast for Yorkies.. Any chicken Breast will do from the store? Do you cook it and feed or do Yorkies eat it straight raw from the bag? Thanks! |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Are you thinking of feeding it in addition to dog food, or as the primary diet?

| More like a treat..From what I'm hearing on this forum, the biscuits you see in the store is unhealthy? Chicken treats would give him the proper protein. I just got my 9-week old Yorkie last week..I want to give him the bessssssst foods! |

There are many threads on raw feeding and they suggest that you give raw including bone, and this contains enough minerals to keep the dog healthy, but once you cook it, important vitamins are lost, and the bone is no longer is safe to eat. Some people believe that raw isn't the best choice for smaller breed dogs, and some people think you should never give raw to a young puppy who might not have a fully functioning immune system. There is a lot of information on the diet forum on this subject. To answer your question, I think that around the age of 10 weeks you could safely give your dog 1-3 teaspoons of boiled chicken. You could break that up and give several pieces throughout the day as a treat. First time you introduce a food don't give much, your puppy will be less likely to experience diarrhea, and I personally don't believe in adding very many new things the first 6 months, but I did use cheerios as a potty training aid.

| Here in New Zealand we have 2 sorts of cheerios, one is a cereal and the other is little red saveloys, what sort is best as a treat.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I'm thinking of the Cheerios cereal made for humans. It's made from oats and has no artificial colorings. It's tiny and mostly air, but they act like they are getting a great treat, and at that age, you give them lots of treats for going potty in the right place, so that's one of the reasons I used it. Also when grooming, if he would sit still for a few minutes, he got a treat. Baths were a 10-treat task, but now he's really good at bath time, even though there are no treats given.

| I make dehydrated chicken tenders for my dogs. (yorkie, mini schnauzer and boxer) they love them. I buy the tenders when they are on sale. All you have to do is rince them with water and put in the dehydrater until all dried out. With all the recalls lately I just think it is a safer treat. |
