Buddy is a pretty good eater - though he doesn't like the Innova food, oddly. He LOVES Natural Balance wet food and the "bullets" which I cut up into tiny little bites and use for training because he just goes nuts for it.

I'd like to try him on the Merrick food, based on the feedback here it seems like an excellent quality food.

I found a new high quality dry puppy food last time I was out and he LOVES it - even more than the Natural Balance dry. His poop is *much* more compact since he started eating it.

I feed him in his little puppy kong - I put a small layer of the Natural Balance semi-dry bullet pieces, then a whole bunch of dry up to the top, and then wet food to "seal" it. He sits for his dinner and LOVES the food/playtime, and it keeps him occupied for a while. He eats 3 times a day, combination of wet and dry food and eats really well.

The breeder had him on Eukanuba/Science Diet and I definitely notice that his stool is much firmer with this new brand - he's also much more enthusiastic about it.

Love being able to talk about my puppy with other Yorkie peeps!
