Hi, I'm wondering, any of you guys/gals think Science Diet foods are overrated?
For one, they are like extremely DRY (canned food version). I find that I have to mash up a serving with a work, and add a little water to make it smoother.

Our yorkie seems to eat it when she's extremely hungry. I also find she will eat the food better if I mix in a tablespoon or two of 'Cesars' wet food.

My other half thinks the food is kind of the best, since its labeled 'sciencediet' and has VET recommended all over it, and it's plastered at the Vet offices.

I tried a 'puppy palate' gourmet food, she ate that nicely.. I find that her stools are often diarrea like.

Such a dry food, it's almost like us eating dehydrated peanut butter on dry bread.

I'm going to try this Candidae item I just read about, I still have like a case left of sciencediet canned stuff.

ALL negative and positive input is welcomed and greatly appreciated regarding
ScienceDiet line. Maybe it is a great food, but not for yorkies?
