You beat me to it. I was just going to post on this topic.

I have had my 3 year old Sadie for 12 days. The breeder gave me quite a bit of her hard food, but she will not eat it. So, then I mixed it with Pedigree soft food, that the breeder said she also liked.

I could not find the Chicken type Pedigree food she had, so I stayed with Pedigree, but got beef with gravy.

The second day on it she threw it all up. I felt so bad for her. I decided this gravy type food was too rich for her little body.

I went back to Walmart yesterday and they have the ground chicken in stock, it is mixed with beef and liver. She is back to normal, and I don't plan on changing food.

Here is my question? Do these precious animals get bored with the same type of food day after day? I hope not, as she does well on what I have her on now.

A lady next to me bought what Sadie got sick on. I asked her if she had a small dog. She said yes, it is a mix. I told her my dog got sick on it, and when I told her it was a Yorkie, she said purebreds have very sensitive stomachs.

Is this true? I am beginning to think it is.

What brands does everyone use?

Thanks.

Kate

QUOTE=Adamsmom]Hi I am just wondering if anyone here feeds just dry food to their yorkie ? I have finally found a dry food that my guy likes , he is sooo fussy. Its wee bits by solid gold, it contains bison meat. He is a terrible eater so we have been on eukenuba dry mixed with can but he snubs his nose at it and sneaks food from the dauchounds who have been on wee bits for a while now. I am really trying to get a feeding arrangement so no one finds pieces of anyone elses food. My yorkie eats in his crate or atlest snubs his nose at it and goes around like a scavenger after looking for anything the other dogs may have dropped in fact I was thinking maybe something like that makes for his diahrea that I posted about earlier today. I am starting a much stricter feeding system and have given my guy boiled chicken and rice he ate it right up and just went poop it was much firmer not like water but not completely normal either but a big improvement. I will deffinately take him to the vets tomorrow moring to be safe but I would love to know what you all find that your yorkie likes and is it dry or wet or both. I have only owned my guy for about 7 weeks he is 7 months old has had all his shots and has been neutered.Thanks so much[/QUOTE]
