My pups have been on NV for almost a year now. They are doing really well. We mainly serve the dry instinct food, but mix it up with the medallions and the canned food sometimes. We have also mixed in a bag of the NV prairie, which has some grains (instinct does not), just for variety. The brand "Nature's Variety" was meant to mix and match, giving your dog a variety of diet in many forms and protein sources. My dogs are finicky sometimes and won't finish a bag, but we just switch it up every bag and give another form of food once a week and they eat regularly. We don't free feed. It teaches them that they need to eat what we offer them when we offer it to them, otherwise they get more picky. Our dogs are lean and strong, and have much less waste than before when we fed Eukanuba Yorkie formula. Make sure to have your dog's liver tested, as a high protein diet is very bad for a yorkie with liver problems. And sometimes I have to break up the dry kibble because the bites are big. I am a firm believer. Just use the search function on YT, there are tons of threads on both of the foods you are choosing from.
Oh yeah, and the coupons they send are awesome, and I think it is affordable for a dog that only eats about a half cup a day. |
