1 yr. old chihuahua ; dog food recipe cottage cheese and veggies;

Question
Coco does not seem to be eating much. I work, so she is in acage unless my son is home, and he doesn't pay attention to her. I leave food in the cage for her plus I set a dish out at all times. I have tried several kinds, encluding canned in gravy. She will eat a few pieces at night. Is there a special kind that you recomend I try? Wanda Gillman

Hi Wanda , Coco may want to try the Innova, Wellness , or Merrick brands of dog food....Merrick makes all kinds of Dog STEWS...
Or - try this : an easy mix you can make at home:

Cottage Cheese Mix   ( you can feed 1/4 cup per day)-  This is to be fed with dry kibble or canned dog food : this is some x-tra protein or a nice treat

1 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon  I bone meal*  ( *from health food stores)
2 cups creamed cottage cheese
1/2 cup vegetables (optional) ( grated green beans or peas???)
Mix all in a bowl...
Serve the cottage cheese and vegetables together on the side, OR  mix them into the dry dog kibble.


Yield: About 2 3/4 cups
YOU may want to cut this recipe down to your size...
