My chihuahuas will only eat chicken!! ; sojo dog food for chihauhaua;

Question
Hello, I have a 4 year old chihuahua, I rescued her from abuse 2 years ago....I also have a 6 month old chihuahua, and both of them will only eat chicken!! I have tried dog foods, wet and dry, and they refuse to eat it...I went 6 days without serving chicken, and only fed them dog food, but they went the whole 6 days not eating....This cant be healthy to feed them chicken everyday....I am not experienced with dogs, so I need help!! I have tried mixing food with rice and other goodies with the chicken, and they wont eat it...I feed them once a day, not sure if that is enough....They have dry food out 24/7 but they wont touch it!! I am desperate!! please what else can I try or is it a lost cause? I also tried hot dogs, meatloaf, pork chops, but they wont eat it....What am I doing wrong? How much am I suppose 2 feed them daily? And How can I be a better chihuahua mommy?? Thanks for your help....Anjelique....P.S. They refuse 2 go potty outside, but I am tired of poop-poop pads....Is there a way 2 train them? Or do I just have 2 stubborn dogs? :)

Answer

NuVET plus *************** follow up *************************
Chihauhaua that won't eat dog food:
Just wanted to know if you are going to try some home cooking ? I can give you more recipes if needed... Looks like you were doing a good job with the chicken.  You just need to add some supplements.
Also, we do have a food called SoJo - great luck with this food:
found in many pet stores or here;

Hi - Sounds like you have two very stubborn chi doggies... ( very common with this breed)
As far as the wee wee pads, you can buys newspaper - The Sunday Paper is wonderful and LOW cost for WEE wee pads.

Also, the Chicken situation - That is fine as long as we can get a supplement into them.  1-2 oz of Chicken per dog, 2-3 x per day -

Also, see if they will eat a Chicken treat- Some kind of soft dog treat or snack?  Many dogs do like Yummy chummies - Soft salmon bites. ( they may think it is chicken.)


Ok, here is the NuVET Plus - See if you can get each dog to eat 1/2 a wafer per day - If they want, you can try the NuVET Powder ( just 1/2 teaspoon per dog per day - mixed into some chicken)
YOU can buy the low salt canned chicken gravy.... They won't know the chicken meat has NuVET Powder in it, if you use 1-2 teaspoons of canned chicken gravy or sauce.

They will not be healthy if we Can't get the supplement into them.

Tell them Pet Nurse Marie sent you and you need the NuVET Plus powder-
Tell them Marie only wants EACH dog to have 1/2 the regular dosage -
Most dogs take 1 full wafer or 1 teaspoon per day-  Chi dogs need less of the NuVET.
