Re: [Chihuahuas] Home made dog food {Disarmed}

Exactly!!   You are so right.  Meat is what they want.  I will toss them carrot sticks to chew on or I'll make corn on the cob, and give them the corn,  they love corn on the cob better than any treat.  I know it's healthy and after eating the corn off the cobs, they chew up the cobs.   It's a food, enrichment & toy all wrapped up in one.  Not something they need,  but it's a fun food/treat/toy they love On 8/19/2012 9:00 PM, Peggy & The Girls wrote:   You know that is one thing that I don't fully understand. Dogs are mostly carnivores and I have read that they don't digest cellulose which is what most vegetables are. Sometimes I think that when everything hit a head with the dog food companies to get rid of the filler foods, like wheat and corn and too much rice is not beneficial to a dog, that they had to come up with something they could add to the kibble, so veggies was it.  I give my girls a little bit of broccoli, and carrots, and sometimes pieces of corn as a treat when I have it as part of my dinner, but just don't feel that it would be beneficial to them as part of a regular diet.   Peggy & The Girls         -------Original Message-------   From: Pam's_Notes Date: 8/19/2012 9:51:26 PM To: Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Home made dog food {Disarmed}   frozen veggies are much healthier & less salty than canned.   I'm diabetic, the drs cram all that in our heads.

I'm interested in doing so but most of the recipes I've found are for huge amounts and I want to make some food that is good for small breeds. Any advice would be appreciated.
