Amazon.com sells quite a few of the better foods on line and there are several other online places that sell great food for dogs. There is a great deal of information under "Yorkie health and diet" section on this forum. Grinding the dry food in a food processor is a really good idea because it makes it so fine that the pup hardly knows it is there. Just smashing it with a fork probably won't work. If you mix the powdered kibble with the puppy milk that is just a tiny bit warm and then feed it with a syringe like thing that you give kids liquid meds with you will have better success. I have weaned tons of kittens this way and also supplement fed them when the mom did not have enough milk. (I care for feral and homeless cats in the area) Thank God I haven't had to do it for my Gracie!
If you don't have a good blender or food processor try wrapping some puppy food in an old T shirt and pounding it with a hammer until it is a powder. Oh, the things we go through for our little fur babies! |
