This diet is what works for my Spooky, my West Highland White Terrier. Click here for really easy version
He weighs 17 pounds and stands 15 inches at the back. This recipe is good for 1 meal. If your dog is having digestive problems my vet advised many small meals throughout the day.
Try to find a good hypoallergenic kibble. Find one that does not have any corn or wheat or by products. It may take some time for America to wake up and realize that we won’t stand for the junk that is coming out of China and other countries like Canada, whom I always thought were our good buddies.
The new kibble does not taste that good, according to Spooky. So I’ve come up with a way to persuade him to eat his special food and remain healthy.
CHOOSE ONE MEAT SOURCE TO ADD TO THE KIBBLE: (choose one)
- 1/4 cup boneless chicken breast or thigh, ground up
- 1/2 large hard-boiled egg, chopped
- I do not recommend beef unless it is human grade and never use beef organ meats, especially the liver. Instead you can use chicken livers from free range chickens
DAIRY
CHOOSE ONE STARCH SOURCE: Limit this is your dog is overweight
- 1/4 cups cooked potato chopped or mashed
- 1/4 cups cooked rice
- 1/4 cups rolled oats, cooked
SUPPLEMENTS:
- puréed veggie mix (up to 1/4 cup) cooked (carrots or any other vegetable your pet likes)
- 1/2 Tbs. olive oil, OR 1/2 Tbs. olive oil
- 1 Pet Tab per day or other vet recommended vitamin
So there you have it, my diet for Spooky . As I have said he is 17 pounds and built like a race horse. Very tall and very lean. Adjust this diet for the weight of your dog. Please get your vet’s OK before cooking for your dog.
REALLY EASY VERSION:
Buy hormone free, skinless, boneless thigh or breast meat. I buy mine at Trader Joe’s in a bag.
- Cook the meat until tender and chill
- Cook good wholesome rice from a source you trust. Do not buy anything from China.
- Steam 1 bag of mixed vegetables and chill
- Have ready: powdered bone meal, olive oil and dog vitamin tablets
- In your food processor chop the chicken
- Add the veggie mix, olive oil and bone meal, vitamins and chop slightly
- Pour everything into a individual containers and freeze until needed

My dogs love this food. When I start cooking the chicken ( If you work you can cook it in a crock pot) my dogs are circling my legs. They sure didn’t circle the bags of kibble!
Remember each dog is different. Vary their diet with adding eggs or another type of meat. This is what works for him and he has finally gained some weight and is looking better than he ever did.
It takes time for the toxins to leave the dogs body after ingesting them for so long. We don’t, at this point, really know how long our pets have been fed melamine, pesticides and other harmful ingredients. So hopefully you will see an improvement each month.
I don’t buy anything made in China and I mean anything! If it says “Made in China” I put it back. They had their chance and they blew it. What else can you expect from a communist country?
