Yorkie Yakker | Fresh Select food,probiotics and prozyme I have my 4 year old yorkie on Fresh Selects dog food. When I adopted her, she had already lost most of her bottom teeth due to neglect. I was concerned about giving her the moist food due to tooth decay, but I brush her teeth every night and use a tartar rinse in her water. I also give her 1/4 tsp of Prozyme and 1/2 pill of GNC probiotic formula each day. When I tried the kibble, she was not eating enough to be good for her. Has anyone else used this food and supplements? I want to be doing the correct things for her health. She has missed so much due to the breeders who had her. |

| If she is missing most of her bottom teeth I don't think could chew the kibble properly.

| Good for you for trying your best to take care of her! There are many vitamin supplements and probiotics that can be purchased at pet stores. If she can't chew kibble then I recommend soft foods with a bit of plain yogurt, low fat cottage cheese, or sprinkle of cultured butter milk powder. However I would advise you to take her to the vet for a proper evaluation. There's a possibility of other medical conditions you may not be aware of. |

| I had tried the Fresh Select. He loved it but I wanted him eat kibble for his teeth and he seemed to not be satisfied with the portion size. I had thought that it was a complete meal by itself but I could be wrong. This was a couple of years ago. |
