Okay everyone. I've had Tucker on Nature's Variety Instinct Turkey & Duck kibble with Raw Medallions every other day or so, but it is very difficult to get in my neighborhood. The one place that carries this kibble seems to always be out of stock, and I need at least a good back up option. So I've been looking at a few others. Wellness and Solid Gold are very easy to get as they are sold at Petco, but they aren't grain free.
I don't exactly remember how I got on this whole grain free kick--maybe it's really not all that important? Has anyone really researched this? Can you give me a breakdown of the pro's and cons of feeding a grain free food?
I'm also looking at EVO, but again it isn't available very many places, yet seems to always be in stock where it is sold. It is grain free like Nature's Variety Instinct.
The price doesn't matter. I just want to feed the best food I can, and that's hard without knowing the ins and outs of yorkie nutrition. Can anyone help me out?
A bit about Tucker. He is 9 lbs and extremely active. His vet always says he's pure muscle so I'm not worried about the fat content too much. Also, he has no known allergies and does fine with any size kibble. He's a good eater as well, and hasn't turned his nose up at food yet. Also, homecooking isn't practical for our home, even though I know it is a great option for those that can do it, and feeding raw medallions exclusively wouldn't work either as I free feed and am not always home when he needs to eat (and I'd be concerned about the raw being left out too long). I also like having him on a kibble for travel.
So, what kibble should I put him on? Feel free to suggest other brands not mentioned here as well. My requirements are: no by-products, no corn, no soy, & no artificial colors
Thank you in advance!!!
