I have two Chihuahuas who are rather small for the breed. Because of this, I keep a close eye on their eating behaviors so that they maintain a good and healthy weight. Both of them seem to have lost an interest in their dog food (Innova Puppy), so I tried to switch them to another to see if they would like it better. Turns out that they don’t like it either. I am just worried that they are not eating and it will hurt them. They will pick up a piece of food and then spit it back out onto the floor.

My question is if I can create a diet for my dogs with human food, such as chicken, hamburger meat, veggies, and other healthy foods. I know that I could do raw and that is an excellent option, but I just don’t think that is for me. If I could do this option of healthy foods, does anyone have any recipes that could be made?

Thanks!

I’m sure not many of you have thought to give your cat a green olive, but Im curious why do they go nuts over them like cat nip or their fav toy. I think maybe its the salt, but try it let me know its real cute….. PS we do not feed our cat human food furmey is only super curious about green olives!

I'm always thinking about the idea of "absolute health"…there has to be some diet out there that is the best possible diet for a human…we have dog food figured out; the same food every day and they get all they need! Why isn't there "human food"?

So, I wonder if raw food is the most natural and healthy way to eat. It sounds good on paper, but what do you think?
