| Thanks! But my husband won't let me buy on line, as my daughter had her identity stolen when she put her credit card on. It was a nightmare for her. Will go in to the site, and maybe I can order and send a check! Thanks! Pat |

| I have done TONS of research on dog food recently. Also, read a book on yorkie's called "Yorkie's for Dummies". It states that a yorkie should have 24-26% in protein and 8-10% in fat (this low fat is hard to find!). After my research, the best foods I've found out there are: Solid Gold Innova California Natural Wellness Natural Balance Wysong Canidae Stomper was on Royal Canine 33. I've heard that it is not the best since it does contain corn which causes allergies in some dogs. I then tried California Natural (Protein 26% - Fat 16%) and Stomper HATED it. Is is very good food and highly recommended. Only has 4 main ingredients! I'm now trying Innova (Protein 26% - Fat 12%) which has tons of good stuff like potatoes, chicken, herbs, etc. So many YT members say this is good stuff. Stomper is having a hard time adjusting. He just loves that Royal Canine!

| The only place I can find Canidae without having to mailorder it is in New Orleans -- an hour away. I am really wanting to try that food. The place that has it available is a doggie daycare place in downtown New Orleans.

Know what you are going though with the Royal Canine. Feel like they got my dogs addicted for awhile. Every time we went to a Yorkie Speciality, we came home with one or several bags of the stuff for free, plus tote bags, towels, t-shirts, and coupons! Great sales pitch - get the people who show and breed Yorkies hooked on the stuff and count on them getting puppy buyers stock on it. Plus make it high in fat so the dogs get used to eating it and wont eat anything else! The good news is - a hungry dog will eat. And no, dogs do not have to eat their fill every day. Put the food down in front of your dog. Wait 20 minutes, and simply clean the bowl of the left overs. She will come around to seeing it your way. Once you've got her off "burger king,' the transition will be a lot eaiser. If she seems a little weak or lethargic at first during this "sit in" stage, you can pep her off with Nutri Drops or Pedyalite. | |

| Pita won't eat the natural balance rolls anymore she used to love them! I am going to a fresh food diet, she seems to like more variety. |

| I give Moxie Wellness, it has human grade meat,fruits & veggies. , no preservatives, no fillers, You could eat it yourself! LOL I get it at the Vets. Some Whole Foods stores carry it. You can check out Wellness on line and find out who carries it near you. Call first though because some of the places that were listed didn't have it. Good Luck Terry Moxie's Mom PS All the foods listed in Klogen's post are good. |
