Vets food are usually full of fillers and aren't necessary most of the time. Canned food is my favorite but may cause loose stools. It depends on the food and the dog. Whatever you feed, it is important to brush their teeth. Two good kibbles are Wellness and Canidae. Canidae also has good canned food as do other companies. |
Breakfast Bars recipe just wanted to share a couple of recipes that came thru my mailbox today,, dont see them posted here, and i've not used them,, yet Recipes for the most pampered of pets: Breakfast Bars 12 c. oatmeal 4 c. whole wheat flour >8 eggs 3/4 c. oil 2/3 c. honey 1/2 c. molasses 2 c. milk 1 large can solid pack pumpkin (optional) 3 to 4 mashed bananas (optional) Preheat oven to 325. Grease 2 cookie sheets Dump everything into a VERY large bowl. Mix this whole mess together (I use my hands, AFTER I take my rings off, another story), pat onto greased cookie sheets & bake at 325 for 1 hour. After 1 hour turn oven off, crack oven door & allow cookies to cool in oven. Break into whatever size you want (mine like LARGE). This is for the very pampered as I understand it only makes about 8 bars... |

I store it in little containers that you buy in the aisle at the grocery that carries Glad wrap and zip-lock baggies. They are the smallest containers that they sell. I'm not sure if Glad makes them. They are 9.5 oz size. A batch of this recipe will fill 13 containers. I refrigerate the first one or two, then freeze the rest and bring one down into the refrigerator to thaw as needed. I hope this helps. |
Homemade Yorkie Recipes Food & Treats Thanks, good to see your Dr. approves. Tricksie is 8 lbs and too fat. How much a day would you feed. I was told to give Tricksie only 1/4 cup twice a day. |
Taylor is a TEAPOT. He weighs 12 + lbs but is not overweight at all.... just big. He eats 1/2 a container in the morning and 1/2 at dinnertime. When I fill the containers, I full them to the brim. Maybe 1/3 of a container in the morning and 1/3 at dinnertime for your baby. I'm not sure what to tell you. Taylor turned 2 years old yesterday and still will probably fill out some more. (And I thought I was buying a "Purse Dog") Don't get me wrong, we LOVE his size. He is a good size to go boating with us. :) |

shelf time I'm trying to find recipes that will keep for awhile without being refridgerated. I like to make bigger batches at once. Are there any recipes that say how long they keep? Or do any of you know how long your treats keep? |
Help!! I have a 5 lb. Yorkie, and I am so stressed out about how to feed him. He is appx. 5-1/2 yrs. old, not sure, the couple before me had him 4 yrs., and wasn't told his age when they got him. When I got him, took him for teeth cleaning, the Dr. pulled 14 of his teeth. He cannot eat the thumb size T.D. she told me to feed him. A friend gave me a recipe which the same Dr. approved for her Yorkie-Poo, so I have been cooking it, and he loves it. However, I don't know if it has all the nutrition he needs. Also, I wonder if it is okay to vary his diet instead of the same meals all the time. I was cooking a whole chicken, deboneing it, and cooking brown rice, brocolli, cauliflower, tiny bit of potatoes, carrots, and green beans. I wonder if I could replace the chicken for beef once in a while, and can Yorkies have fish. Or is it better for their system to get the same food all the time. I heard it's not good to change dog food which you buy. I was giving some treats from the store, puparoni, beggins, etc. A few weeks ago, he got pancreitus from having too much fat. The Dr. then said feed him just chicken breast and white rice. Now that he is well I'm paranoid about getting any fat in his diet. But, it seems that he must need some. Also now, all he gets is the chicken with brown rice and veggies, but I only cook chicken breast. He eats some dry I.D. Also, the only treats he gets is milk bones, and white rice cakes. Any suggestions. Sorry this is so long. Doc's Granny |
Watch it on the broccoli give them gas hard to digest potatoes to starchy, I’ve do switch from chicken to beef or sometime mix them two together, but keep the same in mixture with brown rice etc. Unfortunately, Chelsea has put weigh on so have to watch the protein factor which adds weigh over the fat contents |

Wow, if Ellie's vet said to feed chicken, rice and veggies long-term with no supplements I would not be happy. If you are going to homecook long-term (longer than maybe three weeks) you have to supplement. It is absolutely not an option. If you don't your dog won't get nearly enough of what he needs. I started out homecooking without supplementing also, but that vet didn't give me the recipe...it wasn't her fault. Dogs also need a source of linoleic acid. We use olive oil or canola oil here. Here is Ellie's recipe: 1 ounce meat (boneless skinless chicken breast or WHITE meat turkey with absolutely no skin or fat) 88 grams cooked carbs (peeled and cooked sweet potato or brown rice or noodles or barley or peas) 60 grams cooked mixed vegetables (choose from peeled carrot, bell peppers, celery, squash, broccoli, cauliflower) 1 teaspoon oil (olive or canola) Supplements Mix together. This was formulated for Ellie who is 5.8 pounds but I end up feeding her 50% more per day. The supplements are the hardest part for most people. I would suggest talking to a nutritionist. This diet is about 24% protein and 18% fat. I gave beef instead of chicken or turkey and Ellie got pancreatitis around that time, so I don't recommend any form of beef for pancreatitis patients. I would be careful with the turkey because while most dogs can handle white meat and Ellie does and the pancreatitis is not recurring, it might have a bad effect on some dogs. Fish would be good but since it is lower in fat I don't know how it would fit into this recipe. Be careful about feeding too much broccoli or cauliflower. Ellie also had periodontal disease and nine of her teeth were pulled. She is much better now and never went on TD. I brush her teeth daily and use OraVet once a week. She gets all homecooked and raw vegetables to snack on. It works well for us.:) I would not recommend feeding Science Diet DRY food unless you absolutely have to. Most of it contains ethoxyquin. The wet prescription foods don't. |
I might be wrong here, but I read somewhere that Yorkies should not be eating and Red Fish like Salmon, Tuna, Red Snapper, etc... I'm I wrong? Quote:

Recipe for coat and skin care This is a treat that promotes good coat care.... Satin Balls is a formula that promotes coat and weight on dogs, it is also used for very picky eaters. I have never seen a dog turn up their nose at them. Mix together: 1 lb. hamburger (very cheap with high fat content) 1 1/3 cup Total cereal, 1 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup wheat germ, 1 pkg Knox gelatin, 2 T. cooking oil (I use coconut oil), 2 T. molasses. I also add 2 or 3 T. Mirra Coat supplement (or whatever supplement you may have), 2 or 3 T Malt ( like you put into icecream to make malts, we use Ovaltine Malt). Make balls (I make each ball about 1/4 cup and can get 2 into a ziplock snack baggie.) and freeze. We laid ours on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper, when it was filled layer another piece of wax paper and then balls and freeze. Once frozen then place them in baggies and keep in freezer until ready for use, thaw in microwave just until not frozen. DO NOT COOK!!! The lady we got this recipe from says she splits 1 ball between 4 chins and 3 chihuahuas every day. Start out with a very small amount and build up slowly, it is VERY rich and can give them diarrea. I feel this could be split between same amount of yorkies. Enjoy!!! :aimeeyork |

Hello there, I have two little picky eaters here. I have gone through alot of money trying all sort of food for them. They like it for a week and then they turn up their little picky noses. I have found something that is great. I have learned to serve it a way that they lick their plates. It might be hard to find but he does have a web site. You will not be sorry. Its well worth the trouble. It come in mason jars and is human grade. The name is Michaels soul stew. It comes in a variety of flavors. My little ones love beef. I mix with a little ground sirloin and I use Organics by nature dry kibble. Its so tiny when mixed with the stew and sirloin really good they just eat it all. My little ones used to spit out the kibble but now there is nothing left. Everything is eaten. I hope this helps. Web site for dry kibble is By Nature™ - Naturally, Nutritionally Complete Natural and Organic Dog and Cat Food and for soul stew is Michael J.. good luck! |
I have a new recipe for foolproof liver treats. I call them "Braunie Bites." Ingredients: Braunschweiger liver sandwich spread, flour. 1. Slice the Braunschweiger into 1/2 slices, then cut into little pieces. 2. Roll the pieces in flour to dust them and keep them from sticking together. 3. Put them into small bags or containers. Refrigerate one for use and freeze the rest. How's that for easy? I feed home-made meals to my Yorkies, but I'm not good at adding in organ meats, which provide valuable minerals. I add a vitamin/mineral supplement to the food. I don't like to feed dog liver treats because I don't trust the ingredients and they are mostly flour anyway. So this way I can supplement my dogs' diet with liver. Be careful not to feed too many treats! They are high in fat. |
I just got a recipe for Satin Balls but it uses 10 lbs of hamburger. I am very happy to find this one. Thanks for posting it. Sylvia Quote:

Hello! after reading all the threads and web sites,I admit that I am even more confused...I always gave Eukanuba dry food for my little Dolly (7 years old now) and i read today not very good things about it on the internet. I'm in the UAE so i don't have much access to all the brands.:( I would like to feed her home made food in a daily basis very balanced with all the vitamines required... Some say cook without graind,other with grains...:confused: I was thinking of doing the following: Chicke or beef Carrot Sweet potato Brocoli everything shopped and boiled with mineral water. Is that enough for her to eat every day?Should i add something else??? Can i mix with a little bit of dry food? Thank you! |
Ps: I also added some zucchini... |
