| what do you feed your yorkie Hey guys and gals... just curious to know what you feed your yorkie... Lucy hates her food.. i know they are picky eaters.. but every time were in my grandmothers house Lucy runs to my grandmothers dogs dish like its heaven in a bowl. lol.. its only kibbles in bits but it looks very flavorful.. lol... but i dont want to switch Lucy to kibbles n bits. so i was wondering what everyone on here feeds their yorkies. p.s. lucy eats nutro choice, lamb flavored.. (sometimes i have to put a little parmesan on it just to get her to eat) i know it sounds silly but she REALLY does hate her food Thanks!! |

| Mine seems to really like Natural Balance, I give her their premium small dog which is a mix of chicken, lamb and salmon. Tho they are known for their limited ingredient blends like sweet potato and duck, I like the idea of multiple protein sources. Kibbles and bits has a lot of corn syrup and artificial flavorings in it to make it attractive to dogs.. unfortunately almost any dog will at least try it since it's got all the crap on it.. I had a very very picky pekingese who liked wellness food, she was on nutro for years and one day just wouldn't eat it anymore.. I tried several different brands on her before we went to wellness. One other brand she liked was the Costco brand premium dog food. That comes in a HUGE bag (I think 30lbs which is huge for a small dog) though and would go stale long before we were able to use it all. Good luck! |

| I have been a Wellness user for quite awhile however Lily has been turning her nose up at this lately. I am going to switch over to Go Natural Chicken with fruit and vegetables. I have heard very good things about this company and the protein content isn't real high which I like.

| For kibble, Levi is currently eating Taste of the Wild (Sierra Mountain). We've fed Orijen and Blue Buffalo in the past. He also gets Stella and Chewy's dehydrated raw a couple times a week for variety.

| Agree. I have received samples from Artemis (they sent me 10 sample bags), Taste of the Wild (they sent me 2 sample bags of each flavor), and Solid Gold (they sent me a sample bag). Go to their website and e-mail them and they will send you samples. Right now, Sparky eats Taste of The Wild High Prairie on the weekdays, and Nature's Variety Chicken Raw on weekends. I buy the smallest bags of kibble and my plan is to change his food every time he finishes a bag. We will be trying the Pacific Stream flavor of TOTW next.
