Thanks again!! I love YT  |
It's not the high protein in Evo that causes problems, it's the high fat content.
Are you aware that raw is high protein, too? A raw diet is generally recommended for healthy dogs only. With the stomach issues your Yorkie is having, I would not feed him raw, especially because someone in the pet store told you too.
As a few others have suggested, you need to find out why he is having these digestive issues, then find a diet that is appropriate for him. A consult with a canine nutritionist after you get a diagnosis is a great idea.
