Monica Segal is certified in Animal Health Care with studies in animal nutrition, physiology, diseases, parasites, and pet care. In this booklet she provides dietary and nutrional recommendations for toy dogs. The booklet includes:

Toy dogs have unique dietary needs due to their high metabolism, and some can be picky eaters. They bring challenges to the table that most owners of larger dogs don't encounter.

The raw and cooked diets in this booklet are suited for healthy adult dogs. Most of the recipes provide a great deal of variety to address those picky eaters. By including different foods, we are better able to rotate between them, thus maintaining the dog's interest.
