| Purina Puppy Chow for a YORKIE when i first took my dog home he eat alittle bit of the pet shop food that they normally gave him then he stop eating for a few days so they said to give him baby food. so i did and i know he cant stay on that so i try him back with the food he normally eats but he refuses to eat it. so i picked up some purina puppy chow and he seems to like it since he eats it. so i want to know if thats healthy food for a YORKIE. OR if not whats the best kind of food to get him to start eating. |

| Purina Puppy Chow isn't that good. It is only rated 1 star. I chose to feed Missy "Go Natural" Grain Free (rated 6 stars). I see alot of people on here recommend "Wellness" and "Orijen" (also rated 6 stars). Here is a link to Dog Food Reviews with all of the ratings. It's a very informative site. It tells you which foods are best, and what to look for when choosing a good food Dog Food Reviews - Main Index - Powered by ReviewPost

My furkids Donating Member | First of all....welcome to YT! The site that was posted (above) will give you a good idea on what is good to feed your pup. ANY dog food that can be bought in a grocery or retail store is not going to be good food. Most of them have by-products in them and a lot of junk that isn't good for dogs....not just yorkies...any dog. I don't understand what you mean by a mix? were you told this by the breeder? Yorkies ARE a toy breed....there is no such thing as a tea cup...this is a term used when a puppy is very small...and....a lot of breeders use this the term "toy" and jack up the prices making people think they are getting something they are not...I do hope you didn't pay tons of money for this little one. I feed canidae, all stages, to both my girls. I know there has been talk about them changing the formula but, that was on for the lamb and rice kibble. The chicken kibble has not changed...Good luck finding a good food for your little one.

| I have mine on Solid Gold Wee bits. It is very small in size. While it is not a 6 star food, it's a premium food. They eat it and seem to like it.

Also a lot of the 5 and 6 star foods are All life stages so are fine for a puppy. The bag will tell you how much to feed. | |

| Hello, I have a 2 lb yorkie and she is really picky I have found that wellness is best for her it is a good quality food. I just took her to our feed strore and no one can belive how shiny and thick her coat is she is healthy and strong. My yorkies like welness super five mix and sometimes I buy another wellness food and mix it in so they dont get sick of it. |
