I feed both my Siberian Huskies and my Chihuahua "Prey Model Raw". You have to know what you're doing though. It's not just as simple as tossing raw meat in a dish. You have to make it balanced. When feeding Prey Model Raw, you feed 80% muscle meat, 10% bone, and 10% organs, 5% of the organs need to be liver. You can balance this out over a week. All of my dogs are thriving on this diet and are healthier than ever. I believe it's the best diet for any dog, unless of course the dog has a weak immune system. You can feed any raw meats. My dogs get lamb, pork, venison, goat, bison, rabbit, etc. A few tips I have is you can always use supplements if you're worried about your dog missing out on vital vitamins and minerals. I use the brand Nupro and they have a supplement specifically for small dogs. It's most likely not needed because prey model raw is balanced but it just makes me feel better to use it. I also give my dogs salmon oil a couple times a week just to help with skin and coat. I only use Nupro a few times a week too. Here's a site that has everything posted about Prey Model Raw. https://www.dogster.com/forums/Raw_Food_Diet/thread/718349 It's a lot easier than it looks once you get the hang of it and how much to feed.<br><b>References : </b><br> Of course you can feed a Chihuahua raw!

It’s a lot easier than it looks once you get the hang of it and how much to feed.

Since domestic dog probably emigrated with Indo-European humans when they traveled across the Bering Straight, there is a possible Asian/Americas connection, but it is very ancient to say the least. The dogs involved would be far distant ancestors of the breeds we know today. The Fennec Fox is not a close relative at all - they are an entirely different genus than the domestic dog (vulpes instead of canis) and have about the same relation to domestic dogs that humans have to Gorillas.<br><b>References : </b><br> Closest is almost undoubtedly the Techichi – it is the only one that is both a dog and has a geographic/historic proximity to be involved in the development.

]]> Comment on Is It Ok to Give My Chihuahuas Human Food Every Day? by Anonymous Writer http://www.ilovemychihuahua.com/teacup-chihuahuas/is-it-ok-to-give-my-chihuahuas-human-food-every-day/comment-page-1#comment-860 Anonymous Writer Tue, 04 Oct 2011 04:58:59 +0000 http://www.ilovemychihuahua.com/teacup-chihuahuas/is-it-ok-to-give-my-chihuahuas-human-food-every-day#comment-860 No. I'm no vet or dog specialist in any way but i do know that ANY DOG, ANY PET, should NEVER be feed human food every day. I have a chihuahua and sometimes i may throw her a piece of bacon or once in a while when we have steak, the bone with some of the fat, but that shouldn't happen every day. Maybe once in a while, but feeding your dog human food every day is not good for their health. They need to eat their dog food every day and can still recieve bits of leftovers but not every day. Its tempting, i know, because of their adorably cute faces but it IS NOT GOOD FOR THE DOG. If your mom doen't agree, she needs to speak to a vet. Hope I've helped! Good luck and have a great day!

The dogs also shouldn't be overweight. Some people think "oh the dog is only 5 pounds over its not so bad". Chihuahuas should be 6 pounds. If they are 12 pounds it is 200% of their ideal weight. 18 pounds is 300%. That's like a person who is supposed to be 150 pounds but instead is 300 pounds or 450 pounds respectively.
