Recipe: Dog Food for Small Breeds
Oatmeal makes a good substitute carbohydrate for dogs with wheat and grain allergies. A good source of soluble fiber, oatmeal is beneficial for dogs with digestive issues and aids in regulating blood glucose levels.
I used zucchini and carrots, but you could substitute other dog-friendly veggies too. You could even throw in some dog-friendly fruits once in a while to change things up for your pup.

I love sharing the dog food recipes that I create, but I often get comments from readers and viewers who say that they don’t have the time to make homemade meals for their dogs.
With a little bit of water and some of the best healthy ingredients, your slow cooker will prepare food for your dog while you’re away at work.
I like preparing meals for my dogs in advance and freezing them. I can make enough food for a month in just a few hours. Each day, I check the freezer and choose a meal to thaw for my pups.
If you’d prefer to feed your dog a fresh meal every day, you can make a different dog food for small breeds recipe every few days.
For this slow cooker dog food, all you have to do is add the ingredients to the slow cooker and turn it on. Most slow cookers are programmable, but if yours isn’t you’ll have to keep an eye on the time.
Set your slow cooker on high heat and cook the recipe for 4 ours. Once it’s finished, you can easily stir the recipe to combine the ingredients equally.
Once the food has cooled, you can feed it to your pet.
