I had this in the food section above but since no one answered my question I decided to repost it here, since the question was about my toy poodle..

good morning everyone.

My toy poodle is very picky and has been since we got her as a pup almost 2 years ago. Her breeder had her on pedigree cannesd. I kept her on it because she was so little, around 1 pound when we got her and I figured if she was eating/gaining then I wasnt going to mess with it. After a few months of having her and she was gaining weight I tried switching her over to a higher quality food. I tried everything, wet and dry. She would eat it for a few days then stop and she would literally not eat for days only what people food I would feed her so back on the canned pedigree she would go. I couldnt let her starve and I was petrifed that she would get hypoglycemic. Well she wont eat that anymore either and honestly with thier more recent recalls I dont want her on it. I sent away for some free samples and got lots of chicken soup and taste of the wild and have sucesssfully switched my other 2 dogs over to chicken soup but Lexee wont touch any of it. I read on here that you can give the chicken baby food, so I bought some and she loves it. (for now) she lapped the entire spoonful that I gave her and looked at me for more. (im taking it slow, not to mess with her little system.) This morning I tricked her

and mashed up some taste of the wild in with the spoonful of baby food and she agian lapped it up. So my question is, is it ok to give this to her everyday? Will it be too much protien with the taste of the wild mixed in? She has gone to the bathroom this morning and it was normal. My plans are to feed her 2 times a day (like always) for a total of the 2 ounces of baby food and a 1/2 cup of the taste of the wild.
She always has dry food out, but rarely touches it.
Im sorry that this isnt yorkie related but Im not sure where else to ask and this board always has good info and advice.
thanks in advance
Terri
