eukanuba yorkshire terrier

[brunosmom]

i was wondering what people think of this.

Daisy was on Eukanuba when we got her. Then I saw the Eukanuba Yorkshire Terrier and got that for her instead. Total marketing strategy as I only got it because I thought it was the best since it was designed for yorkies.

I have read and learned alot from other yters here and one thing I learned was Eukanuba was simply not the best for my Daisy. I'm not an expert but it is full of "fillers" and byproducts...I'll let someone else explain this.

I have since put her on Canidae and she loves it.

What is the protein ratio? Read me the first 3 ingredients when you get a chance.

Corn is very hard for dogs to digest, and Brewer's rice is a cheap byproduct. It also has beet pulp. Please see here for some details about that...

lol.. it's too bad that the adds on this site do not reflect the general consensus on what GOOD food is. I am pretty sure that admin does not endorse any adds on this site they just appear. I woudl stay clear of any food that can be bought at Petsmart or the grocery store.

I order all mine. We don't live all that far out of town, but I don't like any of the foods the stores around here carry, so I order food when I'm running low.

Site Admin here has no control over the adds that appear in the banners at the top of the site--they are automatically generated by sponsors of the site host. So keep in mind that what appears in 'adds' at the top of the screen is not neccessarily endorsed by the site or the members.

As far as the Eukanuba YT...I really didn't find it to be anymore beneficial or specially blended for Yorkies than any of their other lines of food. I do use Eukanuba as one of several commercial brands that I implement into the diet of my pooches and have no complaints. But, just because it seems to be a good fit for mine, doesn't mean it will be a good fit for the next dog that comes along.

Don't try to go cheap on his food. Premium foods are much more filling and are more nutrient dense. You generally will find yourself using less of a premium food than you will a cheaper food so it may not actually cost more. Cheap foods are full of fillers and don't really satisfy a dog's hunger. Also, Your Yorkie may develop health issues if fed a low quality food over time. I tell everyone that I place a puppy with to spend the money on the food or spend the money at the vet. There are many good brands. I use Drs. Foster & Smith's. It's only about a dollar a pound and all mine will eat it. I've tried some of the other brands but this is the only one they'll all eat consistently.

I completely agree with the above post. It is very important to feed high quality food to your yorkie, and more importantly it's extremely important to feed a higher quality of food when your yorkie is growing.
