Question
silky/poodle/Chihuahua mix, two years old. we've had her since she was 5 weeks old. she will eat food the first time, then won't eat the same food the next feeding. the only snack she will eat more than once, is the chicken fillets jerky tenders from Waggin'Train, llc.
her stool is black most of the time. she likes table food, sometimes, mostly chicken, beef. she used to eat carrots, green beans, but not any longer. we have purchased science diet, taste of the wild, chicken soup for the puppy lover's soul. she will not eat these on a regular basis.

Ground chicken
Ground beef
4% small curd cottage cheese
2 cups quaker oats soaked in low sodium chicken broth
peas
string beans (** you don't have to do them)****
2 tablespoons salmon or fish oil (health food store or break open capsules from grocery store)
2 eggs
2 boiled yams or sweet potatoes -this is great protein and helps keep everything moist.

Mix together and make into meatballs the size of your dogs portion. Bake them at 350 until they are completely done.

Freeze into bags and warm up in microwave until warm and serve. They should love it and it is all digested so there is very little waste and smell.
