So, I bought other foods that were very high quality and she would only pick at them. She eats Purina One Puppy better that any of them. I know the 3rd ingredient is Corn Gluten Meal.

Yesterday I bought Royal Canin Yorkshire 28 (for puppies 10 months and older). Is this a high quality food? If anyone has any suggestions on high quality food, I sure would appreciate it.

To get her to eat I add a teaspoon or so of boiled chicken with a little broth. Am I doing wrong by doing this? She will nibble what is left all during the day. I leave the food. She is such a light eater and that is why I leave it in the floor.

Oh, I almost forgot, I've caught her eating the cat's poop when we are outside!! I have to watch her like a hawk!!!! and also FOR hawks. I've seen hawks and owls in the woods next to us. I worry about that. I never leave her alone.
You can go to the health and diet section in this forum and look at the sticky on top about what foods are good. You can also ask for free samples to see what they like. Royal Canin is just ok, and it's pricey. I feed Wellness. Uni loves it. It's cheaper in price than Royal but much better in quality.

Avoid any foods that contain corn, any kind of meat by-products, wheat or soy. Look on the Royal canin bag, there is corn in it for sure, maybe a few other no-nos as well.
