Small dogs - Homemade Dog Food Recipes (Complete & Balanced) - The Dog Nutritionist

What's the difference between dog food for small dogs and dog food for big dogs?

Nothing. Pretty much!

Don't become confused by differing opinions online, just stick to a basic balance, and use some more of the recipes I have to create a varied diet. Variation = Complete. Not counting nutrients on an excel spreadsheet.

I fed my yorkie (best friend ❤) homemade food similar to this for her entire life. I’m happy to say that she lived a healthy, active life and made it beyond 17 years. Bonuses…She still had all of her teeth and no bad breath.

I cook my dogs 2 whole chicken leg quarters (debone after cooked), a few hearts, a few pieces of liver, giblets, vegetables, and a spoonful of ghee. Interesting video

a hungry dog is an obedient dog. as stupid as that may sound, it's true. ever since our chihuahua gets significantly smaller portions and not as many treats as he used to get, he is not picky anymore, he eats as soon as you put it in front of him and he's much more obedient on walks etc. made a huge difference!

Thank you! I have a tiny shih tzu and chihuahua cross. I want to make sure most of his diet is homemade

I find it hard to follow a recipe by percentages. I would rather have him say like a cup of this or a teaspoon of that.

Does this comply with AAFCO standards?

Your multi vitamin is not currently available in the US but I did subscribe for emails so when it becomes available I can order. Do you suggest any other brand until then or something specific to replace this? I’ve just found the e book so apologies if this info is there.

Hi! I have an Italian greyhound, I have read that they have less need for fats and can have issues digesting them I skip or reduce the oil? Also compared to the large dog food videos is it ok to skip fish and egg for smaller dogs or still something they will need sometimes? Thank you so much!!!

I get the percentages, but providing people with a sample mixture using cups, tsp, and Tbs would be helpful too.

Good morning I'm from London Ontario Canada I have a question my dog is very picky I have a chihuahua I try everything but he only like chicken and rice no vegetables

I have watched several of your fantastic videos....but I have a question. You always say, upon taking the ground turkey/beef out of the oven, to "be sure you get all of the healthy juices". Isn't that just fat?? I always drain the fat because I'm afraid my dog will get pancreatitis if I don't. Confused.

Do I have to put it in the oven? Why not just raw?

Hi Cam, what other step can replace putting the meat into the oven?

[honorableprophet]

At the end "Calcium" is written on the bottom of the video but you make no mention of it in the video.

Hi Cam, we've been feeding our dogs raw food diet since they were puppies. Recently, one of our dogs had a blood check up and the result shows that their BUN % is higher than normal adn the vet is sayning that this is due to the high protein diet in raw food. I've done some research online and there were different suggestions and we're not sure which is the correct information. Should we reduce their protein intake?

How is this at all balanced and complete? it's missing a ton of nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, omega 3s, ...

I have four 3 year old basset hounds and see them as large dogs in short bodies. What is your advice per recommendations of this video? Thank you. Best info on this topic that I have ever found.

Bones: Years ago I was told No chicken bones except the neck. As the neck was Cartlidge. Bones in their intestines could splinter and be trouble. Please speak on this, maybe a separate subject. Just sent off for your recipe guide. TY
