raw is the best.. but depending were you live it can be expensive.
i feed raw the first year then moved to a good quality kibble (orijen) Raw was just too much $$
Mine get a small handful in the AM and then another larger handful at dinner time. If i notice them getting fat.. i just cut back a bit at night.

Raw? I thought it would only be for medium or larger breeds? My previous dog was in raw diet too. A pomeranian. but it's okay. She's a lot bigger than a chi. Is it really going to be ok if i feed a chi with raw and bones?

Is it really going to be ok if i feed a chi with raw and bones? Brody is an average 5 pounds and he is raw fed. There are some people feeding 3 and 4 pound chi's on a raw diet and they are thriving. I use mostly cornish hens (small chickens) for bone content and fill in the rest with meats (bison, venison, pork, beef, rabbit). Lucy has a great video on here of her crew eating whole quail.  |

As Tracy and Sarah said, its totally fine. Of course, you adapt what you feed to your dogs size. Certain bones I wouldn't give because their teeth are a lot smaller. For bone content I mostly feed chicken wings, but sometimes chicken carcass and also lamb ribs. |

I feed my chihuahua Merrick Grain Free Chicken and Sweet Potato and it has made his fur so much softer and flake-free |
