What's the best raw food diet for a chihuahua?

My chihuahua is 2 years old and an extremely picky eater, I just asked a question about what to do to make her eat and a lot of people were telling me to go raw as its better.?

I am considering this but what would a raw diet for a chihuahua consist of?

How many times would I feed her a day, how much and what should I use?

Feeding raw can be tricky, but the benefits are worth it. Generally, feeding 2-5% of your pups weight once a day is ideal. Be sure to always supervise feeding times in case your pup chokes on a bone or overly large bite. A variety of meats and bones, and especially organ meats. Mixing it up instead of feeding the same meats daily will ensure that your dig is getting well rounded nutrition. Make friends with your butcher and you might get good deals on scraps.What's the best raw food diet for a chihuahua?
I have had Chihuahua's for years. I never feed RAW food. Some have touchy tummys. I feed mine low crud fat dog food. Like baneful. Also I boil ground beef and chicken breast and cook rice. Then I add rice and beef together and put it in freezer bags and freeze. Also the chicken and rice. Small amounts. I feed the dog food for a time and then SWITCH back and forth between the 3 food. Mine get feed 1/4 cup in the mornings and at night. Snacks are raw carrots,potato. Small bits. Also never never feed raw hide chew items. Hope this helps.
