I've been reading on here what different people feed their dogs but wanted to get an overall opinion on what I'm currently feeding Jaden. When I picked him up I was reccomeneded to get Purina One Sensitive Systems with yogurt for Adult dogs and to feed him 1/2 cup of it a day. It has salmon in it and what appears to be a lot of good things but it also has cornmeal in it and I've heard that this can be bad for yorkies? We have a walmart, target, petsmart, etc. around here and I'm just wondering from that selection what would be the best for him to eat? He's two years old and 4 pounds and two ounces and pretty active. We go for three walks a day and he runs like mad in the afternoons. I've been feeding him 1/4 cup of dry food in the morning and evenings and mixing it with Gerbers baby vegetables like sweet potatoes and sqaush. I'll also mix in some lean turkey or chicken sometimes and occasionally some hard boiled rice. Anyway, I just want my baby to be the healthiest he can be and would like anyones opinion on what they feel is the best to feed a smaller yorkie? How often they feel a smaller yorkie should be fed and what if any supplements should they be taking?

Thank you SO much!!
