Many smaller breeds, such as chihuahuas, Yorkshire terriers and pomeranians, can become overweight and lethargic when fed commercial dog foods. These kibbles can be filled with byproducts and man-made materials unhealthy for an active, vital, smaller dog. A more healthful alternative is homemade dog food for both breakfast and dinner filled with natural ingredients that will help any smaller breed lead a more joyful, dynamic life.

Step 2
Cook two pieces of turkey bacon on one side for three minutes. Flip the bacon and cook it for three additional minutes.
Step 3
Place the cooked bacon onto plate covered with two sheets of paper towel to absorb any grease.
Step 4
Beat one egg in a small bowl for 15 seconds with a whisk.
Step 5
Place a small, non-stick pan on medium heat.
Step 6
Pour the egg into the pan and slowly push the egg toward the center of the pan with a spatula until it is fully cooked, which should take two to four minutes.
Step 7
Place 1/3 cup alfalfa sprouts onto one side of the omelet. Fold the omelet over so the side with the alfalfa sprouts is covered.
Step 8
Place the omelet and turkey bacon onto a plate and allow them to cool completely. Cut the omelet into bite-sized pieces before serving it to the small-breed dog.
Lunch or Dinner
Step 1
Brown 1/2 pound ground beef in a medium-sized pan for eight to 10 minutes. Stir and turn the meat occasionally to ensure it does not burn. Drain the meat.
Step 2
Place 1/4 cup instant rice and 1/4 cup water in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave the mixture for three to five minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Step 3
Cut one small potato and six green beans into small, bite-sized pieces. Pour three cups of water into a medium-sized pot. Pour the cut vegetables into the pot and bring the mixture to a boil on high heat. Place the pot on low heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Step 4
Drain the vegetables in a colander and pour them, the cooked rice, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder and the browned meat into a large bowl. Stir.
Step 5
Allow the ingredients to cool completely before serving one cup of the dog food to the small-breed dog. Refrigerate the remaining food in an air-tight container.
