I had until recently been feeding my yorkies Evo. One did not tolerate it well. The other was fine. I have switched to Solid Gold MMillenia for the older one and the younger one is not on a perception low residue diet by Iams b/c she was recently diagnosed with a liver shunt. We are still dealing with that issue and she is taking medication. I can't say that I am crazy about having to feed her the Iams low residue food though as the igrediant list leaves a lot to be desired.
The reason I changed to the Solid Gold is because it is a premium organic food and the protein level is much lower than the Evo. I have been reading and hearing even warned that too high a protein count is NOT HEALTHY for yorkies! My yorkie is doing well on the Solid Gold.
Any thoughts on high protein such as the EVO---52% vs. lower protein foods----Solid Gold MMillenia has 22%. I did not buy the small bits by solid Gold b/c I thought the MMillennia ingredient list was better. The person who sold it to me has been selling Solid Gold varieties for a long time and was able to help me choose. He stated that the MMillennia would be fine for my little one and it has been so far.
Thanks for any comments you may have about a high protein diet for yorkies.
Thanks.
