what kind of food do you give your yorkie?

[lovemyalfie]

I feed my baby Lotus Puppy for kibble and use Stella and Chewy's raw patties for another meal/snack. I'm probably changing his kibble to Wellness after the Lotus is finished off.

I fed Bil-Jac to my two, although I also see its not popular here... mine came to me on it and like it soooo I just never switched. If anyone has a reason why they don't use it please tell me I'd love to know!

Sadie gets Wellness for Puppies. She loves it and will continue to stay on it for his first year. Then we'll move up to another Wellness kind.

I just started Epsilon on Innova Evo. I was feeding him Royal Canine Yorkshire Terrier, but I'm suspecting he's allergic to the corn and testing out how this grain free food works out. He skin is very dry and flaky and I'm hoping this solves the issue.

I feed my yorkie (Dax) and maltese (Darla) Natures Variety Raw food. It comes frozen in these little 1oz nuggets and they each get 2, 2 times per day. I have cooked for them in the past and fed dry (seems like I tried them all but their fav seemed to be the natural balance) and Dax has never eaten better. Darla would eat dirt, I think, she's happy with anything but Dax has a lot of stomach issues and allergies and this food is the greatest and easiest thing I have found. Dax would sometimes go for days without eating but now he gobbles it all up and licks his bowl each meal. I just take out what they will eat for the next day in the morning and let it thaw in the fridge. When its feeding time I just put it down....it's gone in a matter of seconds... I wash their little faces...... and feeding time is over.

Wellness Puppy kibble. So far so good.

I feed Orijen. I might change to Wellness canned when Mocha turns 1 year, or to raw instead. So far my dogs going great on Orijen.

Tatum eats Innova and we've been very pleased with it.

Harley was on Science Diet when I got her, and after doing some research (thanks to people on this board), I immediately switched her to Innova Puppy.

When she finished that bag, I wanted to go grain-free, so I put her on Taste of the Wild, which she is on now. Her first bag was the prairie one I think, and I think this one is the one with the birds on it. (I have used the two flavors with the higher protein). I might try Orijen in the future.

For snacks, she gets Innova Evo treats (they are in triangle, circle, and dog biscuit shapes) and Zukes mini-naturals (all 3 flavors).

She's had no problems with any of the food/snacks I have given her.

[Jeri Cunningham]

I switched mine to Chicken soup for the Dog Lovers Soul and took them grain free with their treats too.

[sheilas-cottage]

both wet and dry food.

[iwantayorkie08]

Wellness puppy here. She likes it and it has helped out her poop too, not as much and not mushy. I even switched my cats to Wellness.

[BubblPopElectrc]

I was feeding Canidae but have recently switched to Merrick.

Sandy is extremely picky. The only canned she will touch is Nature's Recipe. Chicken, rice and Barley or the Vegetarian. She will eat the beef once in awhile... but she prefers not to.

TJ will eat anything that holds still long enough. We do have to watch what he eats because of his sensitive tummy. He is outgrowing that (thank heavens).

For dry, I have to mix it for them. I had Nature's valley and Wellness down, to see which they liked better. The bowls got dumped and mixed. Hubby picked the food back up off of the tray and put them in the same bowl. (He didn't know what I was experimenting with).
So I put down another small bowl of each and they would not touch it. They only ate the one that was mixed. LOL

[grandmatoall]

From time to time, I have tried other high quality raw foods but Sandy just turns her nose up and walks away. She refuses to eat them.

TJ enjoys them.. but she will not touch them.
Any ideas? She can be so picky.

I also tried the Chicken soup for the dog lovers soul.. TJ will eat it but not Sandy.
