Another dog food question - YorkieTalk.com Forums

lovemy3babies · 10-01-2011, 06:36 AM

I am wanting to change my dogs' food to a brand that has real meat as the first ingredient (something other than chicken) and is grain-free that is not too terribly expensive.

I am currently feeding Natural Balance reduced-calorie chicken and rice but they are getting tired of it, plus they are scratching a lot on it and my yorkie is biting her paws. I'm thinking the combination of rice/chicken might be causing the scratching.

I am on my way to Petsmart in a couple of hours and would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

Oops, just realized this should go in the diet and nutrition category. Sorry .

I went to the dog food reviews website but there are SO many dog foods I think it would take me all day to go through them.

Since I'm going to Petsmart in a couple of hours, I was wondering if someone might have a quick suggestion that they are already feeding and are happy with.

But I will go through the dog food reviews later when I have more time.

Natural Balance makes LID (limited ingredient diet) foods that are grain free. There is Duck and Potato, Fish and sweet potato (STINKY!!!!) and Bison and Sweet Potato. My girls love all of them except for the fish one and they are doing well on it for 4 years now.

Good luck!

Thank you! I think I've decided on the Natural Balance LID Bison and Sweet Potato.

Thank you for your help!
