- The Chihuahua is one of the smallest dog breeds in the world. Their popularity has increased drastically over the last decade. Unfortunately, their small size and high energy level makes them a difficult breed to feed. This homemade dog food for Chihuahua recipe may be a good option for your pint-sized pooch. Read the full recipe here: topdogtips.com...
Before switching to this homemade dog food for Chihuahua you'll need to consult your veterinarian or a canine nutritionist. They will evaluate your dog and help you evaluate this (or any other recipe) to determine if it will meet Fido's needs. If not, they'll recommend supplements or multi-vitamins that can be added to ensure the food offers balanced nutrition for your Chihuahua.
"Steam the corn, carrots and peas. Cook the rice according to the instructions on the package. Scramble and cook the egg. As you will see in my video guide above, I include the shell when I scramble the egg. It adds a great source of natural calcium, but if you prefer you can leave the shell out."

I make all food for my Chihuahuas, and yes I actually have three Chihuahuas and they eat my homemade food for them. They get a change every week. I am posting the ingredients. Always 2 cups cooked quinoa, ( one week 2 cups cooked rice, next week 2 cups oatmeal, next week two cups cooked barley) Always mixed veggies (no corn). I pressure cook chicken and debone and skin it. I mix this together then heat it every morning for my dogs. They also get a Chihuahua vitamin daily with their food. Two of my dogs are 14 years old, the other is five years old. They are healthy, they have energy and and they are happy. For treats I give them cluster of cauliflower, they love this.
Victoria Aguilar What brand of. Itamins.
Victoria Aguilar what brand of vitamins?
i make my own food for them too. but i switch up the protein each time. beef and liver, chicken, turkey and salmon. the veggies i use are celery carrot peas green beans, sweet potato, kale, brusslesprouts, broccoli stems, and bitter melon. throw in a handful of cranberries. like 1/4 amount mixture of rice and lentils for added protein and fiber. egg mixed in occasionally also. never thought about quinoa have it in the house, maybe ill try that. have considered the oatmeal tho, but do i keep it in the same ratio as the rice?? they seem healthy and happy, the poops havent changed so im thinking i got the right meat fat fiber ratio. they are such veggie aholics that im almost certain they are getting the vitamins they require. they also get added stuff like left over berries or tomatoes or what have you that is in my fridge when i make it. also looked up herbs that are good for doggos and incorporated some of that into what i make like rosemary and cilantro. hope im doing okay by them! my vet says that they are happy with the diet.
@@jsterling6805 I give them 10-for-1 multivitamin with glucosamine made in USA all Natural ingredients.
Lucky chi-pups. Thanks for sharing your success.
If only we could afford to take ours to the vet but people didn’t want her cuz of how she looked so we give her all the love we can and I rescued three other puppies and took care of them till I finally found them homes, one of which I’m co-owner of now, I might not have much money to pay but I have much love and care to give which was all I had to do to save their lives in the end
I have a dog plan for mine I pay $54 a month plus $30 more for flea tick and heart worm prevention
Why did u bake it for another 30 mins if it’s already cooked won’t you over cook it
the whole thing is overkill
I am so happy because I read the comments before killing my own dog
same
Do NOT give corn to a Chihuahua. The meat pieces are to large also. If the ingredients were all cooked as shown when blended why bake them. Take the corn out and through it all in a food processor. You also need to add oil such as olive or fish oil or your dog will develop skin issues.
Thanks
You do not want to add fish oil; check out Dogs Naturally Magazine
Doesn’t oil lead to heart disease? If you wanted your Omega 3s why not use flaxseed? Olive oil isn’t nutrient dense for the amount of calories at all. Fish oil has omega 3s but flaxseed meal it a cheaper way to get your omega3s. Just make sure to blend the flax into meal first.
Organic coconut oil is best.
Oliver oil?
Good job on making homemade food for your companion! Very positive.
iv got a 10lb chihuahua. currently on blue Buffalo. going to try this for him. thank you for the video!
I'm actually gonna give the Blue Buffalo a try. I hope your pooch enjoys this recipe.
Corn not good for chi's especially older hastens kidney and heart failure.
Thank you so much for this important information. Thank God I came to the comments, when I saw 👀 what and how she was making the food for a ( Chihuahua ) and she fed her big 🐕 dog with it, not a Chihuahua. Doesn’t make sense. God Bless you for your helpful coment .
absolutely not - this diet is virtually void of any nutrition - where are the actual veggies? Peas, carrots & corn are all starches and then added rice?!! umm hell no - we've made our own dog food for over 15 years for our clan of toy breed dogs that lived well past standard years for those breeds. Organic ground beef & pork mixture in some water down beef broth+ added bone meal, along with a veggie puree of spinach & apple, + any other random veggies we had around - the only starch added was some boiled sweet potato. I made the puree up once a month & froze it, and then cooked up the meat once a week (medium) & added this puree and put in small containers for the week. The only health problems we ever had with our 3 Pugs & 1 Yorkie were congenial - otherwise, they were all perfect weight & very healthy. Also many dogs are allergic to poultry. I'm fostering a Chihuahua starting tomorrow & was just looking around for new info and this is not it.
What other recipes do you have? Sounds good. I’ve got a Chiuahuaha and she’s got allergies. Just looking for everything and anything I can run across. Ty
Yes
What kind of Bone meal do you use?
The only thing you’re doing that is not good for consumption is the pork! Just leave it out. People always think pork is an actual good food and SHOULD BE consumed for good health. My chihuahua don’t eat pork and the only thing (so far) that has effected any of them was the car that hit one.
I love that you and others cook for your pets. I do too.
They didn’t do well with rice… and chicken has it’s draw backs, such as allergy causing elements that can create hot spots that are extremely itchy to my chihuahua. Beef liver, beef heart or beef roast are the meats of my choice mixed with boiled veggies such as peas, carrots slices, green Beens, broccoli, cauliflower and on occasion, sweet potato., blue berries and apple pieces.
I cook it all about every 4 days, reheating each serving with a little natural gravy from the cooked meat and veggie broth. No oil, butter or lard is added as the meat has it’s own fat. Trim most of the fat off the roast before cooking.
Thank you for sharing ❤
Is spinach safe for dogs? (One of the commenter’s included spinach)
This looks delicious. I bet my chihuahua so will love it.
Dont feed this to your dog read the comments
This was great, been searching for "what's the best hypoallergenic dog food?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Donulian Astounded Dominion - (search on google ) ? It is a smashing one off product for discovering how to discovering the secret the dog food industry is hiding without the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my neighbour got great success with it.
I do not agree with your recipe being healthy and nutritional by any means. The corn is not healthy as it holds not nutritional value to dogs. Corn doesn't digest well either. Corn in... Corn out.
I wanna know who liked this video because nothing about this is right 🤦🏼♀️ she doesn’t even have a Chihuahua 💀
This is a good recipe, thank you. I feed mine boiled chicken and white rice with powdered calcium. They love it and cry when I'm getting it ready! After watching this, I'm going to add vegetables and try apples too.
😬yeaaaa no. No disrespect but I strongly urge no one to follow this recipe. All that rice is a BIG no no for a chihuahua's daily diet. I'd only feed this recipe to a dog that needed a bland meal temporarily. Also, its not nutrient dense at all. The little nutritional value that it had was cooked out and then mixed with fillers. Im curious to know where you learned k9 nutrition
Meredith Matthews she’s a twit and no idea what she is talking about I totally agree with you the damage and possible death she’d be causing unknowning the impacts of Briwn rice and yolks of eggs and my God corn what is she thinking g she doesn’t deserve to even have a dog grrrr
Exactly! She put a huge amount of rice for a dog and what about the corn???? 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
@@Nookie15 egg yolks are great for dogs especially raw.
I use Royal Canin "bladder health" for 50% of my Corgi's diet. The other is shredded white chicken, steamed smashed sweet potato, & florets of broccoli. I add in a sprinkle of Flax Seed.
Mix & heat a few seconds in the microwave.
I am going to try this woman's recipe too.
Yeah, I feel better cooking for my Pup & I think she likes it!
Thank you very much for your kindness with putting this healthy meal together.
this is amazing and my dogs absolutely love it!!!!
For a Chi wouldn’t the chicken need to be in smaller pieces ?
Why say it's for a Chi but then not feed it to one???? I get you don't have one but wouldn't it be better to title it "Homemade dog food for a beagle", since that's the dog you're fooding it too?
My seven year old papillon chihuahua has a white cloudy eye... :-(( i am going to get his urine sampled and vet said to take him to eye doctor to check if its a cataract.... i have stopped feeding him supermarket food and now giving him homemade food .... thank u for this video xx
Where is the organ meat and the omega 3?
You don’t even have a chihuahua?
Girl pls do your reading before share your knowledge.
Do you put salt on the chicken?
No
Why did you bake it after you already cook all of it ? Didn’t it kills all the good vitamins and nutrition and protein ?
Wrong, no brown rice or corn, dog will develop hot spots
as i understood it, corn is a big NO-NO for dogs, i'm confused now
WE put the casserole over fresh cauliflower- he eats the cauliflower last & it cleans his teeth :)
You can't prove that it's good for Chihuahua if you don't have one.
My chiwawa is suffering through polo he is at a vet I’m scared he will die do you think he will live he is 4 months old
You should also add the liquid you boil the chicken in
Why would you do this
My dog is 3 lbs, how much would she need?
Please take this down, you are endangering dogs. Also that ISNT EVEN A CHIHUAHUA!
Mine wont eat anything except cooked chicken and of course biscuits that have all their vitamins in them, they like some tuna aswell mine are never poorly, they hate vegetables and fruit.
Try giving them sardines/ packed in water.
What kind of cooked meat can you feed your dog what kind would you recommend my Chihuahua is full sized and he loves cooked meat period
Brooke Wilson please I’m beginning you dont ask for advice from this utube she doesn’t know anything about chin babies let alone any dog meals and nutrition ground turkey is very good for dogs of any size or breed
Turkey is horrible for ALL canine breeds. Too much fat for a dog; especially a chi. It will lead to pancreatitis. Never feed a dog the skin, nor the bones. Google for various thoughts and great articles. If you decide to feed your dog turkey meat...do it as a treat; not an everyday meal source.
Brooke, consider chia seeds, salmon, eggs with finely ground shells, sardibes, sweet potatoes and lean beef. Organic, hormone free chicken is fine.
Beef elk venison bison cariboo pigs bear goat kangaroo rats brushtail possum beaver racoon squrial quail chicken turkey duck emu pheasant goose sardines salmon mackerel smelt eal trout cod flounder catfish skipjack tuna minnows mussels oysters scallops. To name a few.
If you cook for your dog don't forget the calcium and organ meat and glands also. your way better under cooking than over cooking.
how do i print this
This recipe works for mix Chihuahua too?
come on...
don't give your dog corn!
and all this rice unnecessary
I want some!!! ☺️☺️☺️
My question is you didn’t say whether or not we should cover it before we put it in the oven.
what's a good healthy diet for a Chihuahua and if I was eating the food of me really gross if I was a dog
Where did you get this recipe from?
She has no idea about dog nutrition she cooked the meat and eggs twice. There is no nutrition left in the food dogs cant digest corn and rice is just a cheep food filler a proper diet is 80%meat 10%orgens 10%bone. Eggs 2 or 3 times a week fress fruits and veggies in small amounts
@@kingperogieandcharlie7385 what do you do if you have a dog with no teeth therefore unable to eat raw bones or raw meat for that matter? My little rescue dog came to me with not one tooth in his sweet little head but I want to switch to homemade dog food and junk the commercial dog foods.
@@dancingdelilah1882 bone meal would be good then
I lost my chi two weeks ago! Next time he or she will only have home cooked foods along with supplements.
Thank You for the info.
Please don't do it, this person is completely wrong and it might kill your chi:(
You should grind the egg shells, after baking them for a few minutes, in a coffee grinder! Also, use minced chicken if you are cooking for a Chihuahua! Their mouths are extremely small.
Isn’t corn bad for dogs???
Won’t the shells choke them? I never understood this??? Please explain🙏🏽
Never feed shells like this. Look it up but you bake the shells to kill any possible bacteria and grind it to a powder. The powder is supposed to be good even for humans.
Dont you have common sense
I think that dog just died. Poor Pup. And also this is the DUMBEST recipe I've ever seen. DO NOT give this to your dog this is LITERALLY HUMAN food, that could kill your dog in just hours. If you accidentally gave this to your dog PLEASE take him\her to the Vet or even the Dog hospital.
Thank you for this recipe. Btw 10lbs Chihuahua should eat only the carrots!
Is can corn kernals ok??
No don’t feed them corn
A bit surprised that this lady is feeding corn and brown rice (among other things done wrong) which is a no no for dogs!!!!
You need to have omega, flax and blue berries
Lmao come to find out, she isn’t even feeding a chihuahua. I hope she knows her dog breeds because in the very beginning of the video she’s talking a lot of about Chihuahuas but yet she feeds a larger dog.
You shouldn’t give any dog corn. And before you disagree do your research. And lentils as well. I see so many recipes for lentils and that causes heart issues.
Why is the dogs food better than what i eat?😫😖😖
Nope my bay wouldn't eat that...
Another video I saw said do not feed your dogs corn…bad for them! Otherwise good video but I’d make the chicken much smaller for a small dog
I feed my chihuahua Coronas and tacos 🌮
chihuhuas are all supposed to be under 6 pounds. why would you have a guide saying 10 pounds?
貴方応援頑張っ✌。素敵です゜癒され動画最高です！！🐶💕
When it comes to nutrition my vet is absolutely ignorant.
This is the worse video I've ever seen on TH-cam!!!!
Egg is not good
My dog allergic to chicken
My dog is gone : (
How long can u keep it in refrigerator?
Please don’t use this recipe, it will hurt your dog
chihuahua doesn't digest sweet corn!!!
Royal Canin for Chihuahua for lazy fur parents 😀
I tip of advice: chew the rice yourself as well as the meat and mix it(recommend for puppies) if you chew yourself it'll be better coz the puppie will know u better
Corn us a big no..
Since you are NOT a nutritionist, I think you are not the right person to tell others how to feed a Chihuahua. You need to hire a nutritionist, consult with those in the field, consult with the best Chihuahua breeders in the country before you put out these videos. I know that you mean well, but you don't understand the needs of a toy breed like a Chihuahua.
Thank you sooooo much!!!!
Pls read the comments, and dont feed this to a chihuahua
But Corn is bad for them right? Hello corn is bad for the doggies. This is not a good thing
Do U have anything w/ watermelon?
No no no no
My dog has hardy any theeth I will try this ty
Please don’t you will hurt your dog
please don't feed this to you Chihuahua! Egg shells need to be grind down into powder otherwise it will get caught in their throats. This food is made for dogs with big teeth...and No corn....how can anyone say this food is great for Chihuahuas when food is fed to a Beagle. No 2 dogs are the same. Also why boil the chicken and then bake it? The meat will be so dry & rubbery. I have a 10 year old mix ChiPin, 7lbs, I feed fresh organic veggies, Whole Foods organic turkey breast with some dark meat (other stores used Rosemary as a preservative) ...the only meat she is not allergic too. Sweet potatoes, celery, zucchini, broccoli all in an Instant Pot- stew like...she gets all her nutrients from the food I feed her...added Dr Mercola Digestive Enzymes. She is active & happy. I've fed her homecooked meals for 10 years and tried to feed her processed dog food (lazy man's diet) and she always had allergic reactions to the preservatives used. Best part her poop don't stink! Her breath doesn't smell. And she rarely has digestion issues.
i'm your 800th like btw
Horrible!!!! Eggs shells too big. Meat pieces too big! Through the corn out!!!! OMG!
Hope you don't think that your dog is a Chihuahua.
Wat the hell, my local kebab house would be more healthy for my chi, with hot chilli sauce on. You know nothing about a chi's remove yourself from TH-cam.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good advice stick to royal canin dry kibble, and royal Canin wet food mix 1 spoon wet, 2 spoon dry 3 times a day start with teaspoon for pups, then increase to desert spoon adult they love it. It's got all vitiamins And nutrition in kibble for a perfect diet. And carrots veg occasionally as a small treat, Goats milk small lidful before bedtime. 👍
RT O rt
Can you feed cooked pork from oven my Chihuahua loves it
Brooke Wilson no pork !!!! Ground turkey best don’t listen to this twit she knows nothing on nutrition for any breed of dog I feel so sorry for the dog she has will have a painful diseased life poor thing
@@Nookie15 Dogs can eat chicken, they always like that. The woman in this video is sort of correct I think, except the chicken pieces look a bit big for a chihuahua. (which is what I have) If there was a chihuahua in this video, (which I don't see) the woman could have cut the chicken pieces up smaller.
She also made some rice..... now I KNOW it's only White (plain) Rice that dogs can eat. I can't quite work out what type of rice this woman is using. It looks mostly white I think. So I'm just going to assume that's okay for now.
Good 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿😍
What the f? Ok. Time to block this "expert".
In defense of you for the nasty comments, you could have ten vets in a room and get ten different opinions on what you should feed your chihuahua and still not know. If you go into a pet store to purchase food for your dog over half of what's on the shelves are loaded with junk that can actually harm your dog. If it works for you and your dog the hell with all the comments.
She won’t know it doesn’t work until her dog dies. Just because you can’t be sure about the food on shelves doesn’t mean you shouldn’t read up on it. There are many valid comments here as to why it isn’t good.
Dogs don’t need any vegetables ,apples are acidic, this is ridiculous...
Dogs definitely need vegetables....
@@tianaamons7057 I'm going to agree with this comment. I know they can eat some vegetable types, just NOT any fruits like apples, oranges nor lemons e.t.c. I felt a little shocked when I saw this woman putting apple pieces in this dog food. GOD knows WHAT.... has cooked her silly brain up with that idea. :-/
I have 3 Chihuahuas next door of residents that just moved in. They won't shut up. So I was looking for recipes for the Chihuahuas not for them.
My dog loves chicken bones
uncooked, yes?
genaro roman jr chicken bones are dangerous for dogs shards can lodge in dogs throat.
They should NOT allow " Tea Cup " Chihuahuas in the show ring ! They should be disqualified ! Anyone that breeds or buys these " Tea Cups " should be Disqualified as a human being ! If someone wants something that weighs only a pound or 2 , They should go y get a gerbil or a hamster !
try Chicken feet and cook in teriyaki sauce. dogs would love it but you have ofcourse to separate the bones to the meat or lentils
Idk what to feed my chi
👎👎
I am the first ❤️
I have a toy Chihuahua
Chihuahuas are rodents
I’m not going to comment on the recipe, enough has been said about that. My only complaint is one I see way too often on TH-cam, and that’s using the term “Teacup” Chihuahua. That’s a name made up by unscrupulous breeders so they could sell what is actually just the runts of the litter. 🤦♂️
Exactly. No distinction exist in the identification nor the breed standard. Also, 5lbs is not a teacup size anyway. 3lbs max for teacup. Chi's are from 3lbs -10lbs as the breed standard.
@@expressivepets1 nope. its 0 to 6 pounds. under 6 pounds is the standard. they will be disqualified from shows if over 6 pounds.
I have what's considered a teacup. We rescued her from a backyard breeder and saved her from a worm and flea infestation. Our last one we rescued didn't make it as we got him too late. 😢 this recipe ain't it fam.
How do you know chi will eat it when you show a beagle? Very illogical.
And why did she do the layers? And why'd she bake it after layering it, when all the ingredients were already cooked???
My Chiuahuaha loves meat the best. If I made this she would just pick out the chicken and leave the rest there even though she a veggie lover too but more of a Carnivore🤣 Thanks for sharing I’m going to make it!
and I wouldn't blame her.
the egg and corn totally unnecessary
All dogs need 80%meat 10%orgens 10%bone. And 2 eggs a week dogs cant digest corn rice is just a cheep food filler and you cooked it twice which means the meat has no nutritional value i feel Terable for your dogs than you also cooked the egg twice.please people don't do this at home
hi...do you have any recipes that you can recommend to cover what you have suggested re 80% meat, 10% organs, and 10% bone...thanks!
ProCeLLx I’m waiting for a good one too
My dog loves chicken and pig organs. He eats everything from liver, brain, ears, butt, chicken head (sparingly and bones are taken away) to pig tail etc. If you know bopis and sisig from FIlipino traditional meal, dog loves it
How to hurt your dog
How do you store this? I dont want it to go bad in the fridge
