Default Eating problems...

Thank you for that info. Gracie is also on Nexguard. I give the appropriate dosage on the first of the month. I never thought it could be that but will keep an eye on it! (Thank you!)

I feed Gracie kibble made by Fromm. It's the Fromm Gold for small breeds. I recently changed from the Fromm Beef Frittata to the Gold line. The Gold is much smaller kibble, about the size of a lentil but slightly thicker whereas the Beef Frittata was about the size of a small pea. The Gold is pretty expensive stuff so I will continue with that until the bag is gone but will look into the Rachael Ray kibble along with the "canned". We are on the same wave length here, too, because, omg!, Gracie will not eat dry kibble!... it has to be mixed with something wet and I've been using a portion of a tray of Cesar brand in the little plastic trays.

Does your little one do what Gracie does? When I put her bowl down, she sniffs it then looks around like trying to be very nonchalant... she looks at the baseboard trim and sniffs it like as if she never saw it before... then gives another sniff to the food and maybe a lick-lick... then walks away. Once in a while she surprises me and eats the whole bowlful... and she knows she gets a special treat if she cleans it up. She runs out to where I'm sitting to get my attention, as if saying, hey, I ate it all... where's my treat! I mean, she'll jump up and shove my leg until I go look at her bowl.

I don't know.. these Yorkies have got a mind of their own and can be so frustrating but I would be so lost without her.

Now to look up Rachel Ray Kibble... many thanks for the FYI!
