as per the breeders and my vets advice. A while back we also had the pet food scare and I did home cooking, which made their poops a little loose, Vet said to put them back on kibble, which I did. (when food was given the ok)
My previous two dogs (not Yorkies) had only home cooking and both lived to 18yrs!
CoCo may have been trying to hide poop, 'cause I found the deed in the lounge!! She is "Daddy's little girl" and does't like it when he scolds her 
I will have a chat to vet about the Forbid or Deter. Don't know it it's available here.
I see there is another thread with the same problem  |
Bummer you can't get better quality foods there, but Royal Canin should be ok. I homecook-and though at first it made looser stools, after a few weeks they're back to normal. I think it's like detoxing them
You might try again-maybe with some brown rice, boiled chicken, and a little raw grated carrot to ease into it. The vet should be familiar with Forbid. Deter I get at Petsmart-but ask your vet about meat tenderizer too, that should do the , and might be more readily available.
I too have a Daddy's girl who hates to be scolded!
