Joviva Chihuahuas Diet Sheet
A good balanced diet consists of a variety of fresh meats, vegetables, pasta and rice.
Let common sense prevail.
8-12 Weeks - 4 meals a day
• 2 meals of Heinz High Protein Cereal with a small amount of minced chicken or beef
and mixed with Biolac formula.
• 2 meals of minced chicken/beef/lamb/turkey with grated raw vegetables or pasta or rice.
12 Weeks to 6 Months - 3 meals a day
• 1 meal of Heinz High Protein Cereal mixed with a small amount of minced meat and Biolac
formula. IF your puppy decides he/she does not want cereal earlier do not worry, substitute with
a good quality premium dry food.
• 2 meals of finely chopped beef/chicken/lamb/turkey with grated raw vegetables or pasta or rice.
Over 6 months - 2 meals a day
• 1 meat meal with vegetables/pasta/rice.
• 1 meal of premium quality dry food PLUS one bone a day.
TIPS
• Raw is always best - including all meat and vegetables, as cooking destroys its
nutritional value.
• Fresh bowl of water available at all times.
• BONES - NEVER EVER COOK BONES OF ANY SORT - when cooked
they are brittle and could rupture the stomach. They break tiny teeth and KILL your dog.
• Give your puppy a raw bone every day eg. chicken wing, chicken carcus or brisket bone.
• 3 drops of Pentavite vitamin syrup a day until adult.
• Two meals a week add an egg yolk to a minced meal.
• Once a week add a teaspoon of acidophilus yoghurt to a minced meal. NB-Yoghurt is
excellent for an upset tummy (a teaspoon every two hours, if not well after 6 hours, a visit
to your local vet is vital!)
• Cottage cheese added to a meal is an excellent protein and easily digestable.
• Tasty or parmesan cheese added to a meal will encourage a finicky eater and is also an
excellent protein.
• We use and recommend the following premium puppy dry foods available from your vet or
pet food outlet.
• Advance for Puppies
• Eukanuba Puppy
• Pro Plan Puppy
• We leave dry food available for all our puppies. If yours starts getting a little too
chubby, cut down the amount given or take it out altogether.
• We offer sardines/tuna mixed with pasta or rice occasionally.
