| Nature Variety's raw contains too much fat for my 8lb yorkie? 1. Is feeding him 3.2oz ( as recommended on their website ) daily too much fat for my 8lb yorkie? 2.Which flavor should i go for? The chicken one was recalled last year so should i still trust it? Chicken has the least fat % compare to other flavor...another one im thinking is vension, just $4 dollars more to chicken. I dont like the smell from lamb although it's same price as chicken...but the vension forumla does contrains lamb so im so confusing now. 3. How frequently ur dogs poop after switching to NV frozen raw diet? my dog is currently on Go! Natural dry food and he poops 3-4 times daily and pee 5-6 times daily which i dont really like ( so expensive for training pads ) , Last edited by kayi078; 11-06-2011 at 05:32 PM. |

| That depends. Not all dogs will react to high fat foods. Yorkies tend to be one of the breeds that do. Also, what foods may look okay when taking the minimum fat % into consideration may not look okay when finding out the maximum %. Your pup's doctor would be able to give you a fat range that they are comfortable with. Make sure to convery wet/raw foods to dry matter (the fat % on the package is not the true fat % that they are getting - they are getting much more when not taking the weight of water in the food into consideration - so if a food says it's 18% fat, it could be several % higher...).
