Hey Guys! It’s been a while since I have posted. But I could really use some help. We had 3 yorkies. Anna was our oldest around 14/15 years old. For the last few years of her life we had to play around with food to get her to eat. So the boys, who are now 8, had a pretty bad diet too. She would only eat wet little ceasars and baby food chicken. The boys would eat this too. She passed on New Years Day. We have been caught up in grief and kind of just treading water. But it is time for me to get the boys back to a healthy diet so they will be with us many more years.

They have always eaten royal canin for yorkies dry food. I want to keep them on this. But I want to totally get rid of the wet food. I need help. I have been mixing the wet with dry and they just eat around the dry.

Has anyone been able to wean older dogs off of wet food? If so, please give suggestions.
