what kind of food do you give your yorkie? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Cora gets Blue for small breeds. I agree with the other posting on Blue. There web site is Blue Buffalo — Discover the Best Dog Food and Cat Foods with our Pet Food Comparison Tools They will send you a coupon for $5 off first bag and I am sure they have samples. Our pet supply carries samples and had theirs which I tried prior to buying. They very highly recommend Blue.

Thank you so much to everyone who has posted. It has been a tremendous help. Can't wait to try out new healthy brands and see which Atticus likes best.

My two yorkies get the Eukanuba special Yorkie food and my yellow Lab gets Eukanuba's Labrador Retriever food. They also get lots of home cooked stuff. They're so spoiled.

Can you (or anyone else) elaborate? I've been wondering about Science Diet. It's actually what my 8 month old is on, only because that is what his breeder used.

Harley eats the Merrick. I like that when he sometimes seems bored with it I can add a little water to make the "gravy" come out and then he will eat again. As far as treats the only quality treats that I have offered Harley that he would eat have been Yorkie Yummies - he loves both the chicken and the beef!!

We've tried several such as: Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul, Natural Balance, Wellness, Performatrin Ultra which is a holistic food from Pet Valu but I think it's only available in Canada. But lately we've been feeding Deeg's Merrick. They brand is excellent quality, comes in a ton of different flavours and is safe to mix and match from day to day. There's no weaning on or off from flavour to flavour so Deegan can have a variety all the time. And it also makes a great gravy just by adding warm water to the dry kibble. You should try it!

Jade gets Eukanuba puppy for small breeds and Tobey gets Eukanuba Yorkshire Terrier. They love it and so far we haven't had any problems with it. Their coats are nice. Well Jade I'm battling a cottony coat, no food will change that. Found some real good shine spray for frizzies that seems to be working well.

"Wellness" all the way!!! One of the best dog foods out there..
I use to feed my babies Canin and it gave my babies allergies.. I switched to
Wellness and they are all gone.. It took a while for Mischa to like the Wellness food but he now loves it..
The kind I get is Whitefish and sweet potatos..
