Small dogs, big needs. This guide to homemade dog food recipes for small dogs focuses on right-sized portions, calorie-smart meals, and easy-to-chew textures. We use lean proteins, smart carbs (rice, oats, sweet potato), dog-safe veggies, and coat-loving omega-3s balanced with proper calcium-phosphorus ratios. Each recipe is beginner-friendly, batchable, and freezer-ready in mini portions, with gram weights and serving pointers by body weight. Transition slowly (25% new → 100% over several days), keep fresh water available, and avoid hazards like grapes/raisins, onions/garlic, chocolate, xylitol, macadamia nuts, alcohol, cooked bones, and excess fat/salt. For toy breeds prone to hypoglycemia or pups with dental or medical issues, confirm long-term plans with your veterinarian or a board-certified nutritionist. Cook small, feed smart and enjoy happier mealtimes for your little companion.
