| Missing something?!? Our yorkie keeps eating eveything she can find and we were just wondering if that was a sign that she wasn't getting something in her diet that she needs. We feed her IAMS.

| Hi!! Yes, sometimes they do that when they're missing certain nutrients from their food. And oh boy IAMS is not a food that I would recommend for any dog. First, they do animal testing. You can google this and see the horrible stuff about it. Second, it's full of by-products and fillers. Take a look at www.dogfoodanalysis.com and look at the 4 and 5 star foods. These are much better alternatives to Iams. Take a look at why Iams scores so low, so that you can get a better understanding of which ingredients to avoid. Good luck!!

| I looked at all of those foods and I havent heard of any on the 4 and 5 star list. Where could we get them? All we have around is Rural King and Wal-Mart.

| Hmmm...Try going to their individual websites and look for the "Store Locator" link. There might be a store near you, maybe in a nearby town. www.canidae.com www.naturapet.com www.solidgoldhealth.com www.merrickpetcare.com www.frommfamily.com www.evangersdogfood.com

| Kayla is 4mo. old, or will be the 10th of this month. She does the same way. I feed her Innova puppy (wet) and also keep down dry food, (Innova, eagle pack) and sometimes I feed them Welliness. She will eat hers and then run back and forth to her bowl from the others bowl and just gulp her food down. She sometimes makes a little gurgle or burp noise. She is just a little pig. She went back for her 3rd series of shots the other day and she has gained a pound everytime we go. She now weighs 4lbs., which is what she is suppose to weigh full grown. Maybe we just have hearty eaters. lol!! I had rather see her eat than be picky. Good luck with your little one. |

| I looked on all of those sites and the closest one is about 50 miles away. But maybe we could work it out and go get some i just wish there was something that was better for her closer.
