Supposedly it is dangerous to give dogs corn cobs. It can very
easily cause an intestinal blockage if the dog swallows chunks of it. http://vetmedicine.about.com/od/nutritioninformation/f/FAQ_corncob.htm.

Exactly!! You are so
right. Meat is what they want. I will toss
them carrot sticks to chew on or I'll make corn on the cob, and give
them the corn, they love corn on the cob better than any treat. I
know it's healthy and after eating the corn off the cobs, they chew up
the cobs. It's a food, enrichment & toy all wrapped up in one.
Not something they need, but it's a fun food/treat/toy they love

You know that is one thing that I don't fully
understand.
Dogs are mostly carnivores and I have read that they don't digest
cellulose which is what most vegetables are. Sometimes I think that
when everything hit a head with the dog food companies to get rid of
the filler foods, like wheat and corn and too much rice is not
beneficial to a dog, that they had to come up with something they could
add to the kibble, so veggies was it. I give my girls a little bit of
broccoli, and carrots, and sometimes pieces of corn as a treat when I
have it as part of my dinner, but just don't feel that it would be
beneficial to them as part of a regular diet.

Does anyone make homemade food for your chis?
I'm
interested in doing so but most of the recipes I've found are for huge
amounts and I want to make some food that is good for small breeds. Any
advice would be appreciated.
