Hello Everyone! My name is Dana I just joined today because i am getting yorkie puppy next week. I had one when i was much younger many years ago and i had a shihtzu up till last year. Things have changed and i would like to learn more about raising and keeping my fur baby has healty as possible. My first order of business is to research the best food to feed her. I have researched that yorkies should avoid wheat and corn. Is this accurate? I have a large kennel i plan to keep her in when we are not home to keep her safe but i was also wondering if a play pen was better. I will enjoy going thru this site for more info. Look forward to being a member. Also, she is not named yet and i want something unique and exotic, so i open to suggestions there as well. |
Hi Dana, welcome. There are lots of knowledgable people on here. You will learn lots. |
Welcome and congratulations!:) |
Welcome and congratulations. I had good luck with a playpen for Cali, but Pixie chewed her way out. Corn definately should be avoided and I avoid wheat due to Cali having allergies. Can't wait to see pictures. |
Welcome to YT Dana. You will find eveything you need to know to keep your baby healthy. Do a search on food. There was a thread showing all the better foods and how they were rated some time ago. Look forward to seeing pictures of your little one when you get her. |

A lot of people have had problems with Royal Canin, Where do you plan on buying your food one of thebig pet chains or smaller pet store? Not all foods are sold every where I would pick like 3 or for and then find out where they are available by you. I feed Milo Merrick and he loves it. Good Luck |
Royal Canin Wow i figured since its formulated for YT's it would be good. Well i do have a speciality pet store minutes from me that does sell high end pet foods and a Petsmart is near by as well. I just want the best food possible and there are so many to choose from. Since my fur baby will only be 12 weeks what is a puppy food someone would recommend. The breeder recommended Vets choice Holistic health extension little bites puppy food. Is anyone familiar with this brand? |
I know someone who uses that and she loves it so does her yorkies, however she said it is very hard to find. |
Dog food They gave me a website where it can be delivered however you would like. Has anyone else here heard or used this line of dog or puppy food? |
Names, Names, Names Hi Dana! Welcome to YT! I did a lookup of your name in Hawaiian and here are the results: English Name Hawaiian Name Dana Kana Danae Kanae Danaka Kanaka Danan Kanana Here are some Japanese names for females: Thousands of JAPANESE NAMES for your dog, horse, cat, pet or child from Chinaroad Lowchens of Australia - And here is one that has a variety: I am certain you can find something you like on one of those places and that you will have fun looking!:D 11,000 Dog names, Cat names and more Pet Names at PetNamesWorld.com |
Names Thank you so much for the names and i like the hawaiian variation of my name i might go with that since my name and my daughters is deanna so we could have another female in the house with a name sounding similar to ours...my daughters name is Deanna.... |
welcome to YT!! So glad to have you here. Can not wait to see pictures of your sweet furbaby when you bring her home. If you haven't already found the link in the Health & Diet section. You can read about a lot of foods & their ingredients at Dog Food Analysis - Reviews of kibble - most yorkie owners look at a 4 or 5 star food - Some believe the 6 star may be too high in protein for a yorkie - and I would definitely think so for a puppy. I am not familiar with the one you spoke of the breeder uses. A few good ones I would recomend - Innova, Wellness, Merrick's |
Dog Foods Thanks for the tip, because i was looking at the 6 star foods and noticed the high content of protein. So i will look at the 5's. As is said i have a specialty pet shop minutes from my home that sells all the high end foods. I just am a little worried that the food the breeder has the puppy on is not carried there and I dont want her digestive system upset by changing her diet. |
By the way!!! Im so glad i found this site this is worth its weight in gold!!! Thanks for the warm welcome and information. Please keep it comming.:) |
