I have 3 geriatric chi’s. They have very sensitive stomachs. Vets were not helpful at all/ made stomach problems worse with the foods with additives. I cook ground, beef and ground turkey. I add long rain white rice/ not minute rice/ I add broth to mixtureWill add a tiny bit of plain yogurt, or sweet potato And I use garbanzo beans once in a while for treats. All 3 have not had stomach problems since on this food regimen for one year. They are very healthy.

Purina ONE I’ve fed this all along, I’ve had chihuahuas for over 35 years, never ever had cancer , kidney , liver heart or any other diseases. Had one that was allergic to grass, dust, pollen , probably everything the Vet said.

I joined a holistic pet group on Facebook and I make mine. Ground turkey, chicken liver, riced cauliflower, spinach and shredded carrots. I do bake it, mine won’t eat raw. I add hemp seeds and flax seeds before feeding. Mine was in rough shape before I joined the group. Spent a lot on vets and it didn’t help at all. I add Ester C when I remember. I do forget that too often.

I feed Merrick puppy. I used Science Diet for years ( and on 5 chi’s). My vet said it was too high in carbs …. And my previous dogs did have weight issues. Merrick is higher in protein and my 2 are thriving on it. I soak it in beef broth or water before feeding.

Read the label. You want real meat not by products. Frozen raw is best (primal, small Batch, Stella and Chewy) next best would be freeze dried raw – just rehydrate with water, bone broth or even goats milk. Remember our babies are still carnivores and need more meat that veggies and carbs. I’d talk to an animal nutritionist about it if you still aren’t sure. And remember a vet is not a nutritionist and they get paid to push Iams, science diet and the like.

I used to boil chicken breast, carrots, green beans and make lil packets and freeze them. Take them out of the freezer as needed. You can give vitamins as well. I also give mine other raw veggies and fruit sometimes.If u want to give hard food, buy them chi small bites. U can put a lil bit of warm water or broth on the hard food. Good luck.

I have 5 Chihuahuas and we use diamond puppy. Our vet told us to keep feeding even into senior years. Never had a problem with it. They are small bites and have never had blood sugar issues or problems. They range from 14 to 2. They get some vegetables and cottage cheese once a week for snacks. We free feed them until 2 then twice a day. They got fat with free feeding after 2. Good luck. It’s trial and error for a while. My vet had us have glucose available in refrigerator as young puppies cause they can drop their blood sugars and it’s scary.
