I would get that puppy off Purina ASAP. As small as Yorkies are and as tiny as their stomachs are, there is no reason to fill it full of junk and fillers. Small dogs need good quality food more than larger dogs IMHO since they can only take in a limited amount of food. (and NO, I feed my big dogs high quality food, too - they actually work and don't have room to fit junk either)

Oh! I just looked up Purina Puppy Chow - 1 star. Only 1 star. Blech! Yes, please put your baby on something better.



Dog Food Advisor is not based strictly on science research, I dont think....this is why I directed the OP to a sit that is not biased, has no agenda of their own, does not promote brands of dog food..... What does Dog Food Adviser base his ratings on? Why does he think Purina Puppy food only merrits one star? What does he base that on? I have no idea....I do not feed Purina, but if I was getting a puppy that was started on Purina, I would quickly find out if that food actually did meet the recommended daily requirements a puppy needs....if the Purina Puppy Chow did, I would not take the only thing that baby knows and is familiar with, away from him at a time when he is going to be inundated by all the environmental changes he is going to have to deal with.
