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. |
My Coco will never chew any kibble! It's really frustrating. She'll only lick it and spit it out!!
She's gotten heavy since I've been feeding her Cesar.
For Thanksgiving, I brought her over to my family's and my mom feed her the entire Cesar in one sitting!
Now I'm going to be really strict. Ever since I've been back home, I only give her Cesar in the morning, and her kibbles for the rest of the day. She hasn't eaten any yet, but I'm hoping she'll be hungry any time soon.
