Hi everyone, so Niko is 1 year and 4 months old now and doing wonderful. He has been on the Acana brand since he was almost 12 months old. I did try to change his flavor once (same brand) to Lamb and Apple and boy was that a mess. Even though I transitioned him - he did not do well on that formula (he threw up and his bowel movements were not normal). With that being said, I got him back on the original formula we started him off with (Free-Run Poultry) and he is doing GREAT! He had his 1 year vet check and the doc was super pleased.

She did say that if he is doing well on this food that I don't ever need to change it, so I get that - but not even to a different flavor within the same brand? Ever? What are your thoughts on that?

Also, for flea and tick prevention, we are using Interceptor Plus (2-8 lbs) and K9 Advantix II for small dog (4-10 lbs)...wanted to know your opinions on these preventatives.

His teeth look amazing but she wants me to start brushing without paste for now so that he can get used to it. Any suggestions on that?

Thanks for your feedback my Yorkie fam! I look forward to your responses! :-)
