What Kind Of Dog Food Do We Feed Our Picky Chihuahua Dogs?

[@ChihuahuaPorter]

Hey everyone! I hope you're doing well. This one was at a viewer's request :) . For those of you following along with the Brinley being sick saga. My wife brought her to the doctor this morning and she *may* have Pneumonia, so she got meds and she's still in recovery. The chihuahua dogs are doing their best to stave off boredom. I'm doing my best to stay awake! Lol. Also, there's a little easter egg in this video. When I'm in the cabinet looking for food and I reach for the bottle of scotch, right behind it is a bottle of Porter's drink "CheeseWeiser". LOL! Yeah I'm a dork, I know. A piece of cheese taped to an old bottle of vodka from an unfinished video. ;)

Porter et Polly. Je vous adore. Big kiss de France. 🇨🇵🤗

[@siege268]

Get well soon sweet Brinley.

[@patriciarose9532]

Oh poor Brindley! Is she recovering at home or in hospital? I'll pray for her and you guys! 🥰

[@pattisimmons67]

That was funny! Caught that as the video was going on. You're too funny. Try getting some sleep while Brinley's at the hospital. Frank will lay down any time I want to. He curls up under the blankets and we keep each other warm! lol

[@labanyadatta251]

Aww poor Brinley! Give her my hugs!

[@StacyStae]

These 2 fur babies have found a spot in my heart, omg Porter shaking his tail in Pollys face and Porter getting so excited is adorable, I love these babies!!!!

[@ChihuahuaPorter]

Hhahahaha I love when that happens. The spinning tail of doom ;) Thanks Stacy we love you!

[@firststateelder8521]

Yes,my baby is pickie,I too change to different foods.cheese for snack times brown rice with skinless chicken breast to change,he will eat some can foods Love your videos.Philadelphia PA

[@vincentmorrison8079]

I have a small 4lb senior Chi. I have tried ALL kinds of dog food for her. The popular Blue Buffalo gave her gas, plus it has peas/potatoes that can attribute to heart problems (DCM). She has been thriving on freeze dried raw dog food (Primal; small bits/topper) with kibble. Currently trying out Health Extension (low grains not zero; no peas/potatoes/legumes; very tiny kibble- smallest kibble ever found). Instinct raw meal freeze dried nuggets are good too. I also sometimes give small fresh crushed tomato which really seems beneficial.

[@darlenelee7327]

Porter is such a good baby, he let Polly eat first!

[@ChihuahuaPorter]

Every time :) Such a gentleman

[@20thcenturyrelic]

Ahh...Polly is the dominant dog.

[@pollyjazz]

Thank goodness I'm not the only one who heats up their Chihuahua dogs' food! Especially in the winter to take the chill off. I mean they're small and easily get cold so i like to think they have some warm food in their bellies. My sweetie fur babies are so spoiled! But not the only ones! Porter and Polly are so cute!!! ❤️

[@jadestone8552]

That was too cute! Porter being such a gentleman. Hopefully Brinley will be much better soon.

[@jasongabriel565]

Fits him perfectly ;) Always being a kind little boy. Well... Ok, not always LOL. Thank you! I'd love for things to get back to normal around here :)

[@catherinemorris908]

These two are the most precious little babies on KZbin!!!!!

[@ChihuahuaPorter]

Thanks Catherine! They're definitely *my* favorite dogs on KZbin! ;)

[@jmadden7270]

My chi is not picky but she is almost 13, and had previous owners who did not vet her. She only has a few teeth left. We give her science diet small paws 11+ (super senior). She does great with the miniature kibble. We do change treats, and i will admit to giving her food off my plate in miniature mouth fulls for her. Things like blueberries, watermelon, pea, etc.

[@bonniemartysmom865]

Oh you gosh that is good to know! I had Daisy and we thought our other dog hogged the food but now I know she was just picky! When Marty passed away, we still had to rotate food. If she liked something one day, you could never be sure that she would like it the next! We are planning on getting new babies this year or next, so good to know. I must have been a Chihuahua dog in another life because I'm a picky eater, too! Hugs to Brinley!

[@ryk283]

Our chihuahua/corgi/terrier mix must have the eating habits of your Porter. She is SO incredibly picky! Well, except for most things that come from our human plates! We have to change the food at least once a week or she won't touch it. I can't blame her. I like variety, too!

[@ChihuahuaPorter]

It's pretty hilarious. That's exactly how i see it too. Porter says "Well... Variety is the spice of life, especially cheeeese variety". Funny enough it actually annoyed me when I first got them. Like what kind of dog doesnt just eat everything? Lol.

[@sarahlaslett3279]

I love the way this guy utterly delights in his two little charges which is so delightful.

Thanks Sarah :) They're my babies

[@reneebrody5877]

Porter and Polly look so adorable sitting in the chair, at the beginning of the video. They are just too sweet😍😇🤗❤. I love how you feel them out of the plate ☺ and on the couch🤗. Aww so sweet how Porter les Polly eat first😇.

[@prestonnorris9822]

They start out looking so sleepy 😊 what a joy our fur children are 🤗

[@ChihuahuaPorter]

Aww yeah. I had a small window while my daughter was napping so I fed them early. They were like oh! It's early dinnah!

[@dianariley2444]

Hah! I used to do the same thing.. Feed our dogs on a plate. And they were a bit picky too. We tried all kinds of dog foods. Then I started cooking chicken and they loved it.👍 Porter and Polly are just so Adorable . Sending many hugs 🤗❤

[@mema2ode]

Too cute...amen to picky...I finally started to make my own...she loves it

[@ChihuahuaPorter]

It's crazy, we've fostered a few large dogs and I forgot how they are basically bottomless pits compared to the chihuahuas lol.

[@janicecheel4622]

Picky furbabies! But we all have that Good job Dad Love Porter 💘 and Polly

[@ChihuahuaPorter]

Thanks Janice! I was laughing at myself making this video because I haven't really fed them in months. LOL! I'm the worst when it comes to feeding because I just want to spoil everyone.

[@Wolverines4ever-sl1js]

P&P are the best and cutest dogs on KZbin. I love those two fur babies like they were my own. How can you not be happy around those two. I would give them kisses and snuggle overload.

They’re both so awesomely adorable. You spoil them with all the creature comforts and attention and special care. You have fun with them and they are thriving!!

[@pampirtle6348]

My little chihuahua is very picky too. Sometimes it's only homemade, sometimes dry/wet mix, or only wet. Mine also eats near me as I almost a little dog many years ago from choking so I always am nearby. Paco prefers a plate too and will share very nicely with others like your two precious pups. Microwave mine too. LOL

[@vFontaine86]

Sorry to hear about the little lady. Praying for a quick recovery🙏🏼 Thanks for the informative and entertaining video. My chihuahua is super picky🤦🏻‍♀️ 🌸🐶🌸🐕

[@marlenepearson9657]

Oh! I hope Brinley 🙏will feel better soon. Poor sweetie. 💗It will be hard for you guys to get much sleep. Those doggos are spoiled eating on plates on the couch. The Chihuahua's I had before this ones, got their food heated up. Sweet video. Thanks Andy! Take care!

[@auPretender]

Biggest of hugs and puppy kisses to beautiful Brinley 💜 Nothin' like the smell of heated pup food. All of us pup parents know it well 😝 I must confess, my Ellie went through about 5 dry dog foods before finally getting her current sensitive skin and tummy one. 👍 As for wet food, went through 6 or 7 of those...she prefers ground turkey and chicken...she's 6 now. 😒 Definitely picky.

[@okkie1958]

Bon apetit Polly and Porter 💕🐶💕🐶

[@gnostic268]

Aww I had a Chihuahua when I was a kid. They're the best 🤍 currently have a Boston Terrier/Pomeranian rescue.

[@missylou725]

So hilarious how you speak to him like a southern gentleman.

[@20thcenturyrelic]

They're fed canned food, warmed up in the microwave, on a plate, on the couch! LOL! Good thing my Chi doesn't know about this. He gets dry kibble in a metal dish on the floor!

[@ChihuahuaPorter]

Hahhahaa. they're a pretty spoiled duo! Don't even get me started on when Porter requires hand feeding.

[@barrymarks9084]

Nutro is a great food brand. My dogs love the products too. They are also easily available at online stores like Petco or Petcarerx.

[@milothechihuahuabrunetandmommy]

There food looks so yummy milo would love that porter and polly are so adorable I feed milo puppy chow and our food and he eats on our bed have a beautiful day God bless you always hugzzzxxxx

[@jeanlittle405]

Thank you so much for this video. We adopted a senior chihuahua mix in January and she is such a finicky eater...we didn't know that it was a common thing. We can rest a little easier now :)

[@wisearts1724]

So here's the deal. Most dog food is at best 20-30% protein. The rest is carbs and fillers that they don't need. Start reducing the dog food and adding meat and eggs. You want to turn it around to 70-80% protein. And feed just once a day for the benefits of intermittent fasting. If really sick, throw in a full day of fasting. Plus, most people over feed. We feed all of our dogs (5) who are 5 lbs-15 lbs just 1/4 cup of dog food a day + a little eggs and meat. All lean and healthy. Hope this helps. Blessings and Love

[@hahna77]

Wonderful advice, but getting my little one to eat only once a day instead of twice, may prove to be a real challenge. What time of day do is best for feeding? I have learned to cut out the dry treats and to make sure she's had a good walk and built up her metabolism and appetite before her meals and this has helped tremendously. I use to feed her just after her quick morning potty break and this lead to weight and digestive issues.

[@tinarosenberg5781]

Both porter and Polly are so cute and adorable

[@julielynch4793]

Andy I've noticed they don't each have their own food bowls. I've never really seen that done before. Wow Porter sure has the most cutest expressionable little face. He's a real smart little guy.

[@markb6295]

You should see our dinner ritual.... we have to feed our chihuahua before the cats cuz he doesn't care about his stuff once the cat food hits the floor. We have to leave the cat bowls empty on the floor til he's done. Have you found a dry food they'll tolerate? We've been searching & have about given up

[@ChihuahuaPorter]

Lol yeah Polly is the worst about the cat food. We now feed the cats in the basement so it's obvious if she suddenly disappears. Polly will sometimes eat dry food and Porter I don't think has even eaten it once. We haven't bothered to buy anything for a good 6 months or so.

[@shannaprissyleamon1311]

Awe polite little Porter! And Polly eating like a little lady! 💜🙋 Mine are SOOOO Picky! They hate dog food 90% of the time.

[@Terri_MacKay]

My daughter and I have multiple rescue cats, and it's been hard to find brands of food that they can all agree on. Knowing that your wife is a vet, and she buys the pet food, it makes me feel good that you feed your pets Friskies, Nutro, Royal Canin, and Temptations treats...those are the same brands that our cats eat. Their favourite wet food is Nutro's turkey stew...they go insane for it!! I love how discerning (not picky) Porter and Polly are...wanting their food warmed up on a plate!! ❤️❤️

[@bernardcimetiere6451]

i can't believe Porter is such a gentleman to wait Polly has finished!

[@piusoneill515]

Yes I’ve asked myself this question here is how I’d answer it! Porter truly displays a southern gentle male dog persona I’m not talking about Rhett Butler, but the modern version: Today’s Southern Gentle male dog is a rarefied breed, half cheese connoisseur and half etiquette ninja.Yes Porter is the modern southern made dog of the 21 century ,His skill set is a mysterious assemblage of charming diversions and arcane convention. He speaks slowly but acts decisively. But the charm of Porter is how he displays the southern bourgeoisie had always intrigued his channel followers and soon his introduction to the WORLD WIDE! As always Polly who displays a Real southern belles know to stand by the door while Porter definitely opens the door for his southern belles and lets his Polly go through first.

My Boo would never eat out of a dog bowl either. Had to be a saucer. I miss him so much! Polly and Porter are a joy to watch! Thank you for sharing them with us. Please keep us updated on 2 pound Yorkie. Cupcake I think was her name.

[@kathrynnorman2253]

Porter & Polly have such exquisite taste buds

[@patriciasantillanes2497]

I think it's just so heartwarming how these dogs react. They're definitely little characters. Porter and Polly have such sweet faces. It breaks my heart that someone would have abused Porter a while back before you and your wife took custody of him. How could someone hurt a sweet little thing like him? He can't even defend himself. I love all dogs, but at the end of the day, l only have just so much money and feeding smaller dogs is what made the most sense. So Party on with Porter and Polly and your menagerie of felines. Peace 🕊️ and Blessings!

I wish I could find the magic box, bag or can that my 2 Yorkies would like, I’ve lost count of how many high end and regular brands of foods I’ve tried 😆 I keep thinking this one gonna be it aaaaaand it goes to the big dogs outside 😆 I’m not going to give up! Love to Porter and Polly dogs ❤️❤️🐾

Have you thought about making your own!! With chicken and veggies and the vitamins they need!! Tbh it's probably way healthier than what we buy in the store's.

[@janeward722]

What do you mean the big dogs outside? Do you have dogs that you leave out? I certainly hope not, they belong in the house, not out back in a dog house or chained up

[@jules1011]

@@janeward722 I’m sorry do you know me? We have 2 very large cattle dogs that wouldn’t step foot inside the house with us pushing on their backsides. They are neither chained up or mistreated in any way, they come and go as they please. You shouldn’t insinuate your lack of knowledge of what you don’t know anything about.
