I've been reading old posts about dog food all day long (it's night time for me now). From everything I've read it looks like EVO Small Bites is the favorite among a lot of posters. Wellness is another popular brand that I keep coming across. Several people also mention Royal Canin, but they say to be careful because of the corn gluten. Out of the 3 foods mentioned above, my vet only sells RC. the other two are not available and I would have to ask a family member to buy them for me and ship them overseas. Is it worth it or should I just buy the royal canin from my vet down the street?

My dogs are 3lbs yorkies, 5 years old, currently on Solid Gold Wee Bits. But it's not available here either and I'm on my last bag. I have 3 choices:

1. switch to royal canin and buy it from my local vet
2. ask someone to ship Solid Gold and continue as usual
3. switch to EVO or Wellness and ask someone to ship it to me

If I buy the EVO or Wellness in bulk will it spoil? Solid Gold has an expiration date so I can only buy 1 bag at a time since it takes my dogs several months to finish 1 large bag.

what would you do?
