We have been feeding our new baby yorkie "Bella" Wellness Puppy food. The breeder we got her from began feeding the Wellness Puppy since the puppies had stopped nursing. I had researched food and asked him to start feeding the Wellness Puppy. In the mean time, I had bought a small bag of Orijen Puppy. I have been giving the Orijen puppy food as "treat's only but Bella is getting very smart. She is now picking at her food when I give her the Wellness puppy food. She eats it like,, ahhh it's food.. so I guess I'll eat it. he ate hardly any of it this morning. I gave her 7 little pieces (it's very small kibble- Orijen) and she devoured it. She absolutely loves this Orijen food. She will literally do cartwheels for it. I will switch her slowly over to it but I would like some feedback if anyone has fed this to their Yorkie puppies. I've read some things online about the high protein content and how some put down the idea and while others rave about the food and the great protein and quality of the food. (Orijen) The Wellness Puppy is 27% protein and the Orijen is 40% protein. Bella also (per our vet okaying) chews on her bully stick which is 80% protein and 0 fat. Vet said she could eat 1/2 of this bully stick every day. Although I only give it to her once a day and a whole stick will last her about 2 wks. (the bully sticks are made by "True Chews") 100%b rawhide free and they keep Bella occupied for a while.

She loves the orijen and I'd sure like to give it to her but I'm nervous. I have had yorkies for the last 13 yrs - but I know MUCH more now then I did back then and years ago, we were not feeding a great food bc I wasn't aware of the foods and qualities until a few years ago.
