Default Need recommendations for a new dry dog food

I've been feeding my yorkie nature's variety, but no one in town carries it anymore. Any recommendations for another good brand of dry dog food for a Yorkie?

Thanks!

Thumbs up my girls love Life's Abundance!! ♥

We use the Life's Abundance dog kibbles. It is all healthy, natural ingredients....it is shipped straight to your door...no worrying about where to find it and you will save time and gas money!
I have samples if you would like to try it out. My girls LOVE it and we tried all the other brands but they wouldn't eat them.
The LA is formulated for puppies, adults and seniors too. No preservatives or chemicals that you find in commercial foods that have to sit on shelves for up to 18 months. The LA food is made fresh for its customers and shipped straight to you from the manufacturing plant.
Just let me know if you want to try some out and i'll send you a sample.
Whatever you decide to feed your baby, just read the ingredients. Make sure there is no corn, no wheat or soy, and no by-products.
Click below on my siggy for more information. There is a video to watch that will give you some information on what the commerical dog foods have in them. YUCK!! THere is also a comparison of the ingredients with LA and some of the more popular brands.
If you have any questions, i'll be happy to help you out!

I have been feeding Timberwolf Organic Dry and Natural. My girls love it. My breeder recommended Solid Gold. Merrick dry is also good.

That food looks fab! Could I get a sample too? How did you find out about this brand? I've been feeding my baby Science Diet Puppy, but according to the posts, this is not a good brand and I always thought it was. My vet uses it, why would my vet use it if it's not good?

Innova is excellent. Artemis, Wellness, and some of those already mentioned

Have you checked out Dog Food Analysis - Reviews of kibble -- you can read about a lot of different foods and then maybe find one you like and have names of to find in your area. I'd stick with a 4 or 5 star food

Sure, i'll send you a sample. Just PM me your full name and address to mail it to.
Unfortunately, most vets aren't trained much in nutrition. Science Diet teaches the vets and so they all push it. Vets also get kickbacks from selling it. Most vets have no clue what the ingredients are in the SD products. Not all SD is bad so read the ingredients. I know SD has some specific foods for the babies that have health issues but for healthy furbabies, the regular SD is full of corn, which is a filler and has no nutritional value at all.

LA is formulated by a holistic vet who is an expert in healthy nutrition for what our companion animals need.
Anyone that wants to try it out, just pm me.

Default Life Abundance Dry food

Please read FuFuFashions posting. She is quite right about Life Abundance. Not only does it get shipped to your door it has the following assurances:
**six weeks FRESH FROM PACKAGING to doorstep
**formulated by a vet who HERSELF makes the food
**as kibble goes, it is so easy to digest and has been known to really help dogs with allergies.
**will never be on a recall list
**has absolutely wonderful, HOLISTIC INGREDIENTS that are actually GOOD FOR YOUR DOG and not just fillers.

I use LIfe Abundance AND Nature's variety and am very happy with how my dogs are responding and feeling. I loved the Life Abundance so much that I became a Rep for their company about a year ago and have no compunctions about recommending a kibble like this. I did my homework a year ago and am very satisfied with what I found including what my customers say about it. Here is my link, peruse the site, read about it, WATCH THE VIDEO--IT'S AWESOME. let me know if I can be of any assistance to anyone.

Yay! I found a supplier who sells Nature's Variety! I'm so relieved. But, I'm also very interested in the Life's Abundance so I'm going to look into that as well!
