My yorkie just turned 1 and it has been a year long battle trying to feed her. I have tried: Nutro, Iams, Science Diet, and Royal Canin for dry foods. For wet, I have tried Nutro and some sort of all natural canned puppy stew or something like that from Petco.

Do you know that Petco will take your dry food back with a receipt within 30 days? not sure if they'll give you a store credit or cash back but I think it's worth knowing. I found this out too late and now I have all these foods sitting in my garage.

I had limited success with Nutro Rice and chicken wet food and Royal Canin. My yorkie simply doesn't like the dry and I'm not sure if it's a texture thing?

I then met someone recently at a party who also had a picky yorkie and asked her what she fed her dog. She left and came back with a container of Eukanuba petite small breed dry food and a few containers of Cesars Grilled Chicken and Porterhouse Steak for me to try. She told me to mix a half container of the wet (mash up the wet real good with a fork) with a handful of the dry. Mix it up good and microwave for 10 seconds and serve. My yorkie LOVES it! I couldn't believe it! She actually wiimpers when it's time to eat now.

She's been on this diet for about a month now, twice a day. You can't imagine the relief I felt or feel now that she eats.

I highly recommend giving it a try.
