High or low. How are the general public to know other than learn from the experience of others, imo. I consulted THREE different Vet. Practices here on the subject of food. Orijen was 1st choice in 2 instances and 2nd in the other. I may say that one vet,s wife breeds Yorkies so you would hope that all this knowledge would not be wasted. In one of the lists of top food on this very forum refers to Orijen Puppy as being in the 6 star category ratings of dry dof food suitable for YT,s. On the question of Popcorn i had not known about it being unsuitable. I do now. Thank you.

I don't think 8 weeks is too young to give Cheerios for training, but if you are concerned, call your vet and see what they have to say.

Well I've read on YT several times that yorkies love Cherrios....last weekend I brought a small box and tried to give them to my Bryan as a snack.....he walked up to my hand sniffed the cherrio and turned up his nose and walked away. I was crushed...I trying not to give him milkbones and pupperonies anymore and wanted a healthier snack other than his apples and whole baby carrots...so last night right before bed i took some cherrios and put them in a small plastic bowl and off to the bedroom we went...i sat on the side of the bed and of course he jumped his little butt on the bed and i started feeding him the cherrios and he loves them

he could not get enough

This is Bryan new snack !

I think cheerios would be fine....... you may start by breaking one in half and giving it to him in 2 pieces.

Bailey is 12 weeks and 2 weeks ago he wouldn't touch Cheerios for training, now he loves them, it's a great training treat, I break them up in smaller pieces.

Well I quarter them and Yuriy loves them. Does cartwheels etc etc.

Tasted them myself for 1st time. Could only do 2 cartwheels before accepting defeat.

He got his first full visit to Vets yesterday, passport, 1st Jag, earclean. When I asked her opinion of Cheerios all I got was Que?

Never had heard of them. Anyway full check-up totally satisfactory. Passed with flying colours and toilet-training is going very well indeed. Clever little bhoy. Sleeps all night for a min. of 7/8 hours so no complaints all round
