My vet said that although it is a very strange diet for dog she is has put on weight and is much healthier than when we first adopted her.
Has anyone else got a yorkie veggie and what do you feed them? I have tried meat in all forms i.e. dog food, homecooked etc, occasionally she will eat a little chicken and sometimes some fish but on the whole any thing remotely connected with a 'normal dog' diet she walks away and refuses to eat.
Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated. |
My little Hazel Nut loves her fruits & veggies! I cook her fresh ones every day and mix them into her kibbles. This is the ONLY way I can get her to actually eat her dog food ;-)
As for finding a quality kibble that she likes ~ that's another story entirely! The breeder had her on Natural Balance and my vet recommended Royal Canine's special puppy blend that he sold only in his office. When she was old enough to start changing to an adult blend kibble, I tried a few different kinds. First I switched over to the Yorkie Royal Canine, then I went to the Blue Buffalo Grain Free. I finally tried a Pure Vita Grain Free and have stuck with this one for a while now. She prefers the Bison and will actually eat these kibbles alone, if she gets hungry enough. I still add in the veggies at least once a day and this is working well to insure that she gets 100% of the nutrients she needs on a daily basis.
