If so what brand? I'm worried about it since so many wet dog food brands were recalled! I was thinking about Science Diet, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Roosmom! It's so stressful, isn't it?! I didn't know when I bought Lola that Yorkies tend to be picky eaters, and it's been so tough to find something that Lola likes, so I completely understand how you feel!
I read everything I could on this site, and so many people recommended Merrick's, so I researched and researched, and the ingredients are so healthy, and it's made in the US, so it doesn't contain ANY of the scary recalled products. I'm currently feeding my yorkie the Puppy Plate dry and canned, and of course, she loves the canned, and we're working on the dry. Thier food is for all life stages, so you can choose whichever flavor you like (or Roo likes).

Definitely grab some Nutri-cal (you can get it at PetSmart, or I'm sure your vet's office has some too.) It has been a lifesaver for me, since Lola just wouldn't eat much of ANYTHING, and at least I knew that she was getting the essential vitamens and "suger" that she needed.
Hang in there! There are so many fantastic people on this site with such great advice, so I'm sure that we'll find something that she likes!
