Welcome, you can Google and find ratings for different brands of dog food. The first three ingredients listed are important, you want to stay away from those with lots of grains and calories. A baby Chi will have to be fed small portions, three times a day. Grown ones need no more than 1/3 cup of kibble, divided into two portions. If you check the group files you'll find a lot of discussion on food. Good luck.

I have two chis--you can see Layla in the pic below, and we also have another chi-JJ who is much bigger. You will find Chis will delight you, surprise you, and amaze you at how intelligent they truly are! I've never done home-cooked before, but I know there are some on here that do...so glad you joined, and can't wait to see pics of your little one!

I will be rescuing a Chihuahua sometime tomorrow and this is the first time I have ever had a small dog. I've always had big dogs all throughout my life but am wanting to get a small dog this time. I am wondering if you can give me recommendations on what type of dog food would be best. The dog that we recently had to have put to sleep was on a home cooked diet and I'm not sure I want to go that route again. Thanks for any suggestions. I look forward to learning much about my new little friend. Melissa
