Is there a "Homemade" diet you recommend?

There is no single "best" homemade diet as each dog may have unique nutritional requirements based on factors such as age, weight, and activity level. However, a balanced diet typically includes lean protein sources such as chicken or fish, carbohydrates from brown rice or sweet potatoes, and healthy fats from sources like olive oil. It is also important to include a variety of vegetables such as carrots, spinach, and green beans, and to supplement with necessary vitamins and minerals. It is crucial to consult with a veterinarian to ensure that your Baby's specific dietary needs are being met and to avoid any nutrient deficiencies or imbalances.

Here is a basic recipe for a homemade diet for a Shih Tzu or Shichon (Teddy Bear):


Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground chicken or turkey

  • 1 cup brown rice

  • 1 cup chopped vegetables (such as carrots, green beans, and peas)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 egg

  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)

  • A multivitamin/mineral supplement formulated for dogs

Instructions:

  1. Cook the brown rice according to package instructions and set aside.

  2. In a pan, brown the ground chicken or turkey over medium heat.

  3. Add the chopped vegetables and cook until they are tender.

  4. Remove from heat and let cool.

  5. In a large bowl, mix the cooked rice, chicken mixture, egg, olive oil, and parsley (if using).

  6. Supplement the diet with a multivitamin/mineral supplement formulated for dogs, as directed by your veterinarian.

  7. Serve the food to your Shih Tzu, making sure to store any leftovers in the refrigerator.

Note: It's important to feed your dog a balanced and complete diet, so be sure to speak with your veterinarian before making any changes to your dog's diet. They can help you determine the right portion size based on your dog's individual needs.
