| Best food for a small yorkie I have been giving my pup Science Diet since I got her at 10 weeks. SHe is about 23 weeks now. I read in one of the threads that SCience Diet is not good. Maybe that's why her coat is not growing.? Can anyone reccomend a good brand? How's Eukanuba? Thanks. P.S. Her coat is not much longer than in the picture. I do believe she is a silky. Her hair nevers gets tangled and appears to be thin. |

| i gave milu eukanuba food when i first got her, because that's what the breeder recommended, but i have since done research and realized that most commercials foods are really bad quality foods for your doggie. right now i am feeding milu nature's variety raw medallion. you can check out their website for more info if you are interested. Nature's Variety i recommend doing your own research to find out for yourself what you think is best. there are a lot of threads in the diet/heath sections about dog food. you can browse and search there to get your feet wet.

| Life's Abundance has changed my Lab's (Wallace) coat drastically, and wee Ted (Yorkie) has been on it since he came from the breeder, only drawback in you can only get it on the Net...but for a Yorkie the smaller bag lasts a long time. |

| Do you mind me asking if there was a reason your pup was on Science Diet? The reason I ask is because my babies were put on it by their Vet. We tried a dozen different brands (including raw) but my female kept having loose stools. When Max got it we finally took the Vet's advice and tried it. They've done wonderfully on it. I'm not thrilled about them being on it because I do believe that there's better food out there but some of these little guys have such sensitive tummies that they have to be on the "bland" type of food. If there's no reason for her to be on it - then by all means - try her on some good stuff. BTW alot of these places will either send you some samples or if you go to a healthy dog food store they will have samples and/or if you baby doesn't like the food... they'll take it back!

| I love using Solid Gold Just A Wee Bit. Since I've changed to this food, my furbabies coat has been super soft, shiny and healthy looking. Like others have said, do some research online to find the one that will work best for you. |

| THis is part of my research. I figured that asking other yorkie owners would be an excellent way to start. I'll look into Solid Gold. Thanks. |

| I feed all 4 of mine wellness small breed and they love it. I sometimes mix a little wellness canned food with the kibble. I have tried a lot of different high quality foods and they like this the best. The only thing is where i live, the only way i can get it is to order online and its really expensive especially with the shipping i have to pay but they are worth it. My dogs eat better than we do

| Dry Euka My puppy has been on Euka since day one. He's full of hair and doing really well. I sometimes mix in can Euka, but I try to keep it all dry so the kibble can work the tarter off his teeth. |

| Pups can be picky and I think the best one is the one your pup; will eat
