For the above post I made: I just mentioned the multi-vitamin, omega source and probiotics I personally use. Im not saying that you will need to get those ones specifically :)

With our dogs we have yet to cook something for them. But we have given them some fresh treats. I know Gus loves having banana and strawberries slightly blended and put in his Kong and freeze it. Organic carrots, not baby ones he just goes crazy for as well. Sometimes some a small piece of grass fed organic roast beef slices.

Everything about Yorkies - Yorkshire Terriers Naturally

Hi, I have a question. Is this basic recipe suitable for a puppy? I have a little girl who is only 4 months old, but I also have a little boy who is 6years old. I am looking for a noon commercial food for all of the obvious reasons, but the big reason is they both have very dry itchy skin and I think home made would be healthier. She weighs about 3lbs. And he weighs about 5lbs.

I cook stew meat for my babies every morning and have added macaroni sprinkled with parmesan cheese and a few frozen veggies mixed in. My little guy is almost 17, blind and deaf, and he seems to like it. The macaroni seems to clear up upset tummies, too.

I am totally loving this thread! So many great ideas!

I cook for Daisy and supplement with high quality commercial kibble. Someone posting about adding yogurt. I make homemade yogurt. Can she eat that. The yogurt I make is plain with no added sweeteners. The recipe is skim milk, powdered milk and yogurt starter.

Thanks.

Homemade dog food
 

Hi to everyone. I don't get the chance to talk or reply very often. But today I wanted to give my recipe. Being that the men in my family are big hunters they fill my freezer with deer pork. So my babies max and Molly love their deer meat stew. Here's the recipe. 2 lbs of browned deer burger 1 cooked sweet potato. I cooked apple(skinned and cored) 2tbs of ground flax seed. 2 tbs of olive oil or coconut oil. Green beans cooked. Yellow squash cooked. A couple pieces of cooked bacon and grated cheese. Mix all together and leave chunky or grind with food processor. Can add brown rice. Steel cut raw cooked oats and can add chicken to the recipe or substitute the deer with the chicken. I also add blueberries and orange slices when I have them. Can cook in crock pot. Hope this helps. I keep kibble made by blue fir nibbles during the day. From max and Molly's mom

Some Things to Watch Out For
When preparing homemade dog treats, make sure you take into account any allergies that your pet has to specific ingredients. You will want to avoid adding any ingredient that you know that your pet has reacted poorly to in the past. If you are experimenting with new flavors, feed the treat to your dog in a small amount to see how he reacts to it before distributing an entire treat. Store your homemade dog treats in an airtight container and place them in the freezer. Allow the treat to thaw for 10 – 20 minutes prior to serving to your dog. Treats can last for up to 6 months in the freezer.

Thank you! This is what I was looking for......

I have a two and a half year old Yorkie poodle mix. Though he is a mix he has recently shown signs of some typical Yorkie food issues. I have had him for a little over two years. He recently suffered from stress induced colitis. I spend most of my time volunteering for a local animal rescue. I am fairly low income and am looking for a healthy but simple way to make my boys food. He wont eat when we travel, if my daughter spends the night at a friends, or if anything stress' him out. I love my boy and want to make sure he is getting what he needs. Does anyone have a cheaper, yet healthy recipe for an every day food? Any help is much appreciated.

The great thing about making your own Yorkie treats is that it is so much healthier for your Yorkies.

Turkey Burgers:
2 lbs ground turkey
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup couscous
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
Soak the couscous in chicken broth until absorbed (10-20 mins)
Mix with the turkey and parsley
In 2 Tbs olive oil make patties and cook just like "our" hamburgers
I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to make the patties so I know exactly how much each patty is
Store in Airtight container in fridge
I serve each doggie a patty in the morning
At Night I give them Chicken stew mixed with their dry dog food, Recipe below

Chicken Stew
2 lbs cut up chicken w/o any bones
Fresh Carrots Chopped
Fresh green beans chopped
1/2-1 cup brown rice
Brown chicken in stock pot with 2Tbs olive oil, stir in veggies and rice, cover with chicken broth and bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 hours until carrots are tender. When serving I measure out 1/2 cup and stir in 1/2 cup of their royal Canin dog food. I mash it all together and they lick the plate clean
Enjoy

I just made some frozen treats today and two out of my three loved it. It's a real simple recipe.

Burr-y Blue-nana
4oz banana puree (I used gerber baby food, but fresh is best)
3 3/4 oz blueberry juice
about a good tbsp of cottage cheese (small curd)
Optional: chunky to puree blueberries

I say 3 3/4 oz of juice, because the cottage cheese will add to the volume, you'll wind up with about 1 cup of this. Stir thoroughly. Just fill tray and freeze. If adding blueberries reduce volume of juice some more.

Made some tasty meaty veggie food, granted I've not measured the amount but eyeballed it.

Lamb & Veggie:
Some lamb chunks 1/2-1 lb
1 carrot (peeled)
1 celery
1 handful of kale
1 handful of sugar peas
a dash or two of the following: mint, rosemary, parsley
1-2 tbsp olive oil

Puree in the blender and cook on a skillet till thoroughly browned. My dogs have loved it! Acted like I never fed them >_>; Adjust recipe as you like :3

Feeding Raw
 

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.

Thanks y'all NuNu will love these new recipes. Yummy yummy for NuNu tummy

I'm so happy someone posted these! I've been trying to find good recipes for Reese.
I love to bake and cook so it would be nice to be able to cook for him as well :D

We have been told by emergency vet our 5 1lb Claire Bear has IBS after 2 weekend stints in the emergency in a month. Is therr a homemade sensitive diet/receipe that is good also for alergies.

You mention "no bones". Are bones not good for a dog, that is if it is ground up~? What about the brand, "Stella & Chewy's". The ingredients include ground up bones, so is this not good~?

The main concern is that the bones can easily splinter and could get lodged/stuck in any part of your dogs digestive track.

Rosie has IBS. I got her diet from Dr Remillard at petdiets.com. Hope this helps.

I was told never use turkey by a "mom" on this site and I followed up with vet and they agreed to use beef or chicken, I've always been told never ever give garlic to a pet yet a couple recipes call for these foods??
