Why is it animal products that you're avoiding? You know the pet food recall was based on bad wheat right?

Yorkies are dogs, and dogs are carnivores - totally different digestion system than us. They NEED meat. And raw bones are a great source of calcium for them. Rawhide isn't good for their digestion, but bullies are great - even though it sounds gross what they're made of.

I understand your concern about pet food - it scared me too and now I home cook for my yorkie. Well, maybe home 'cook' is the wrong word - he eats raw meat. I know it's not for everyone, but I've gotten used to it and he loves it. All the treats I give him are holistic or organic and made from pure ingredients with no preservatives. It's not hard to find healthy choices if you know what to look for.


Ellie May, you should only feed what you are comfortable with however don't forget that she is a canine, not a human
