Diet Change.. - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I just moved into a new apartment and hadn't had siri with me for about the last 6 months as i tried to get my life together. That being said, he was under the care of my parents and younger sister, who try as they might, did
not take care of him the way i did/do.

while i appreciate them caring for him, they changed his diet and now he's not eating what he used to!

They were feeding him beneful by purina and cesars. i just have real problem with him eating the purina due to all the bad things i've heard and read about them. i was feeding him royal canin previously and now he wont touch it. ive been feeding him the cesar wet food and leaving his dry food out for him to graze but everyday since ive gotten him back [about a month now] it goes untouched. any suggestions as to how to get him back on track?? thanks in advance

You could try boiling chicken (no flavor added) and cutting it up into small pieces, then mixing it in with the Royal Canin. We get pre-packaged raw meat and mix that in with RC for Winky and Yoda.

um i can barely boil water, nevermind chicken

but that pre packaged stuff sounds enticing...

Do you want to stick w/ kibble strictly? If so, maybe try Canidae, Orijen, or Innova. Especially Orijen - the taste makes them crazy! It is a higher protein kibble and is top notch.
