Hi guys I’m new here,
I got my Yorkie Ct(yes I know not your average dog name) when he was 4 months who is turning 1 this coming Sunday. When I got him his breeder told me to feed him Pedigree Dry Puppy Food, which I have been doing ever since I got him. He never showed much interest in the food at all, I know puppies don’t eat much but he would only pick out the square looking thing in the food and leave the brown kibbles. I tried everything to get him to eat, hand feeding him, soaking the food in water but he doesn’t really fancy it, he eats it now but not a lot. I asked my veterinarian what I should feed him she responded by asking me what I fed him, I told her and she said its fine and if he’s not eating give him Iams, I got a sample of it from her but he didn’t really pay it any attention.

His bag of Pedigree looks like it’s coming to an end soon and I would really like to change his food soon while I still have some of the one he’s eating left so I can convert him over gradually. So here is my question 500 words later… What dry food do you guys recommend I switch him too? My friend recommended Royal Canin for Yorkshire Terriers since that’s what she feeds her Yorkie.
