| Best Dog Food? I have been told that "Solid Gold" Wee Bits is truly the BEST, but any holistic dog food would be great. My groomer and all the pet stores I have asked say it is the best. Look at the ingrediants, its very important. The dogs have alot of energy and their coat is beautiful. Please research the holistic dog foods. Yorkies are so small and if you give them a food with a lot of chemicals it will affect them much more. Raw meat is also good on occasion. Solid Gold Ingredients: Bison, Salmon Meal, Millet, Brown Rice, Cracked Pearled Barley, Rice Bran, Canola Oil, Flaxseed Oil, Garlic, Amaranth, Blueberries, Yucca Schidigera Extract, Dried Chicory Root, Taurine, Carotene, Choline Chloride, Vitamin E Supplement, Iron and so on. Many hugs and kisses to the Yorkie's Dysons Grandma Jackson, WI. -4 degrees |

| It really does depend on what works well for YOUR dog. Yorkies are very picky so if you buy a really good dog food and he doesn't eat it, you would be better off with a little lower quality food that he will eat well. Some good choices to try are Canidae All Life Stages, Wellness, Life's Abundance, Merricks, Innova, and Solid Gold. |

| best dog food My vet. told me to feed Eukanuba when I got my 1st YT. But I never see it mentioned in this forum. Am I misinformed? Also, if Eukanuba is a quality feed then, would Iams also be okay since it's made by the same company? Just wondering & would like other opinions. Last edited by Ramona; 02-06-2007 at 06:10 PM.

| There is a ton of info on this...........type in Eukanuba or Iams in the search field. They are ranked low quality.

| What I have learned is that Eukanuba and Iams have a lot of animal bi-products. Doing a little research on that subject you will discover some very gross things. Unfortunately, Vets get a kick backs from large companies for "recommending" their product. I buy my Wellness brand from a specialty store. Some health food stores also carry the better brands.
