| Hi! This is an age-old question that has been asked hundreds of times. You can do a search on "food", or go to the "Yorkie Health and Diet" threads and you will get all the info you need, AND MORE! My Dreama eats Solid Gold Wee Bits, and Wosie Innova Puppy. They both get a teaspoon of Innova Evo with the kibble, and also a 1/4 tsp of Missing Link with a sprinkle of Dentatreat. They eat twice a day.

| I feed Toto a dehydrated human grade food from The Honest Kitchen. It is dehydrated so slowly that it is considered "raw" and you simply rehydrate it with warm water. You can feed it as is or add other food .... I usually add about 1/2 - 1 teaspoon minced chicken .... she licks her bowl clean!! She gets 1/8 c. morning & night!

| KimMee went from Eukanuba to Nutro to now she eats Merricks but she gets a lot of rice and veggies daily with cottage cheese, eggs and apples. She loves it and won't eat dry food without something fresh. She also loves raw spinach. |

| Toto's vet approved this after studying the ingredients. We feed her "Force" and is described below. Jaspersmom ....it does sound delicious, but it's one of the very few things Toto eats that Patrick hasn't actually tasted! He always reads all the ingredients and if there isn't anything "foreign" or yucky ... he tastes it first!! Scrumptious dehydrated Grain Free human grade dog food made with chicken, fruits, vegetables, honey, yogurt and herbs. Our Best Seller! Price includes shipping! 4 lbs hydrates to 17.2 lbs of fresh food. $1.97 per lb of hydrated, fresh food. Both our foods are formulated to meet the AAFCO nutrient profiles for adult maintenance and you don't have to add anything to make them 'complete'. However, the original idea behind these diets was as a base for a raw or other home made diet and to facilitate that, they are somewhat 'lite' in terms of fat and protein, so that your own choice of raw, or cooked, meat can be added, if desired. It is entirely a matter of personal choice (and your dog's taste!) whether you add in extra meat and other ingredients, or not. Most people with younger and more active dogs like to mix in the additional meat, and those with senior or overweight animals usually prefer to feed the food alone. Please call or email if you would like to discuss what is right for your dog. Force is our delicious offering for dogs who are intolerant of grains. This food is made from 100% human food grade chicken, organic flaxseed, potatoes, celery, cabbage, sweet potatoes, zucchini, green beans, apples, honey, alfalfa, kelp, yogurt, bananas, papayas, basil, garlic, rosemary, vitamins and minerals. Preparation No cooking required! Each 4 oz cup of Force should simply be hydrated with 1.25 to 1.5 cups of pure, warm, filtered or tap water, or boiled water that has been allowed to cool. It is best not to add boiling water directly to Force as this will destroy many of the enzymes & nutrients present.

| This is what Tiger eats daily: Morning - main food base is Innova Puppy food (dry kibble) with a Tablespoon of Merrick wet food (his fav is grammy's pot pie) mixed together and a small dollop of cottage cheese or yogurt in the center . . . Dinner (he gets it mid afternoon) - main food base is Innova, mixed with merrick wet food and cut up fruits (his fav's are apple, mangoes, papaya) . . He looks forward to his meals . . . you'd be amazed at how quickly he devours it . . . so I know he loves what he is getting daily and I have the piece of mind knowing he eats healthy . . . |
