my vet gave me some good advise. Alot of the dog food companies do not have strict quality control guidlines, therefore you are better to stick with one that hasn't had recalls due to sick animals. She stated purina, iams, royal canine, pedigree, and eckunuba (sorry about the spelling) are all good companies that offer several different formulas to match the dogs needs. I personally tried several different brands and worried about the quality of the food. She suggested putting them on royal canine skin and stone, it is sold throught the vets office. My female was switched to the puppy formula when we found out she was pregant. She has alot of skin issues but hasn't had them since being on this formula. It's a tough decision because we want our babies with us as long as possible. We have always fed our golden retrievers purina lamb and rice and lost one of them at the age of 13 years and our other one just shy of 17 years he still weighed 76 lbs and was the love of our lives. I am curious what owners feed their yorkies that live past 10 yrs. This might be a good guide |
