| Home cooking for Yorkies Hello! As some of you may know I am picking up my baby in just under 2 weeks! At first I will be keeping her on whatever food the breeder has her on, however, I am currently cooking food (2 out of 3 meals/day) for our other dog (6 year old English bulldog). One meal a day he eats kibble. I would like to eventually do the same for Peach. Do any of you cook for your furbabies? Have any recipes you could share? Advice on cooking for a yorkie? Thanks ahead of time.

| I just started home cooking for my dogs..not all meals but with kibble also. I started to home cook because my Remmy had baldder stones. Struvite stones and has just had surgery about 3 weeks ago. I don't have any recipes because I am still researching home cooking. It seems that it is not as easy as I had orginally thought. Lot to it...anyways I am going to a holistic vet on Thurs to talk to her about nurtition for my dogs. I'll fill you in...mostly I have been feeding chicken, ground beef, eggs, potoatoes, rice. Not alot for fruit and veggies yet. Chris |

| That would be great. I home cook for our bulldog because he is intollarant to carbs I know odd, but he was REAL sick as a puppy and we took him for many tests...$$$$$ That was before house and kids though Anyway, I make a huge "vat" of his food and feeze it in little containers...it is mostly a diet of groundbeef, bit of brown rice, bananas and broccoli. I add bananas later usually (they go black when frozen) And I put cottage cheese in for breakfast. And he gets a high prooteen kibble for lunch. He loves it, he has been on it for 5 years now. He goes nuts when he heres the microwave Anyway, if you make and freeze it is no harder then making and freezing baby food. I kinda wanted a yorkie specific diet though. So if you find anything out, please let me know. Thank you!

| Kobe has dry food out at all times. But twice a day he gets cooked oats, pumpkin, scrambled egg, and cottage cheese. Since I started giving him this meal he has not had his finicky stage (refuses to eat, weight lose, and ends up sick). Also, have not had any problems with kidney stones. Sometimes we will substitute the oats for rice and the cottage cheese for plain yogurt. We used to give him chicken with it as well, but it would make him sick so we have eliminated that. |
