| Please don't feed Cesar's! I know that our dogs all love Cesar's wet food but it is SO bad for them. It is made with so many bi-products which we should not be giving our animals. If you are going to feed wet food, at least feed one that is made from good quality ingredients. My yorkie loves Innova and Canidae which are both excellent brands. I hate to see our babies eating the junk that is scraped from the floors. Plus, when we buy their product we are supporting the company and keeping them in business. They should not be allowed to put any of that stuff in dog food. The better brands are a little more expensive but definitely worth it. |

| I totally agree! The high quality ingredients are especially important to yorkies who are prone to pancreatitus. |

| The only reason that I wrote in about the Cesar's is because I just wanted everyone to be aware of all of the bi products. When I brought my puppy home, my breeder had sent some Cesar's and I just assumed that it was a good food. It wasn't until I joined Yorkie Talk and started doing some research that I found out that wasn't the case. Do they make the Innova EVO in wet food or only dry? The protein and fat seem a bit high. My baby is a little pudgy so I have to watch her diet. |

| I totally agree. Thank you for posting this. My argument is that it's not even more expensive! At my local Pet Supplies Plus a 5 lb bag of Canidae is 5.99. It takes Loki 6 weeks to eat one bag and he is 8 pounds. Is $1 a week too much to spend for quality food? I sure wouldn't call that expensive. :-)

http://www.petsuppliesplus.com/storemap.asp I pulled up NY and there are several listed. PSP carries lots of good choices, including Canidae. The Nutro product that is on the Whole Dog Journal's list (www.whole-dog-journal.com) is the Nutro Natural Choice Ultra. I do think you can get that at Petsmart.

| You should be able to find Canidae somewhere in Queens. I live in upstate NY and several places carry it. You may need to look at a natural food store. You probably won't find it at the regular pet food stores. If you go to their website, they will send you a free sample. They sent me some coupons too. Same with Innova! |
