Rant/Vent!

[mshancock66]

I understand your frustration! As I am new here to, but then I started noticing that you can bet when a new topic is posted that there are a handful that I notice on here that are always picking things to death! And sometimes they can't even spell their words correctly! So I have chosen to ignore the bad apples and take their unsolicited advise with a grain of salt! I do so enjoy all the cute pictures and heartwarming stories from members, hang in there!

"I read what people say on YT, do my own research, and go from there! Basically, take what you need and like, and leave the rest...whatever works best for you and your baby!"


I do the same. Read, reasearch, take what I need. There's good advice here, I've found a ton! And good people who love their dogs, heck, all dogs.

Back in the day, Purina was the go to food. Everyone used it! If your baby started on it, that's ok. I would if my vet said to. Mine is being a spoiled brat and won't eat anything atm. (at the moment), except ants!(and what I hand feed her).

Just remember, everyone has an opinion...that's all it is, opinion.There is no "bestest in the whole wide world" dog food. If there was, we wouldn't be discussing which food to use with our furbabies! With so many dog foods on the market now days that it's overwhelming! Find one your baby likes, and its good for them and go with it

I agree with everyone above, it seems like you already have the right idea. Speak your kind and as others do so, use what u can a disregard the rest. I havent been here long and am no expert at anything yorkie butb i have seen newbies post then head for the hills because they got swatted for coming here new which is the pointvof coming. If I figured I knew everything, I wouldnt have bothered joining. Im glad you ranted. Your baby is too cute.

I didn't think I bashed you and I know I am not the one sending you pms. I felt that I was informing you there is more to dog food then just the dog food itself and letting you know what that company stands for. I did the same thing to my mom who was feeding the same food. I am sorry people are sending you pms to bash you and I think you should report them. Pming people to bash them about a post is not nice or ok in my mind.

Anyone receiving attacking/bashing pm's should report them right away. Please don't hesitate to do so.

What if that's the only food someone could afford? Yes I did feed my yorkie Jaxson Purina when I first got him because that's what the vet recommended to me but after further research I found that it wasn't the food for us. Along with that research I saw that lots of foods many yorkie owners talk about on also on the FDA recall list for whatever reason. People come on here to seek communicate with other owners & if you have an opinion give it but remember some of us are new to this & don't deserve to be chewed out basically because we bought the wrong food. So before telling me shame on you for feeding your pet purina and supporting that company maybe you should think back on when you first got your yorkie or any pet & if you made a mistake? How about what you eat? Most of these yorkies probably eat healthier then their owners do but yet I'm getting bashed with private messages. Sorry had to vent....I'm an Army wife whose husband got her a yorkie a few months ago & found this site to get info & talk to other owners but instead I find myself getting chewed out. ....End vent...

I completely agree with u n feel the same way I'm so sorry u had to go thru that wen I joined I stated that my puppy was 7 wks at the time n got judged so bad cause my hubby got him from a coworker N we didn't kno he should still b wit his mom which is why I barely come on here any more sorry u went thru that

So that makes it ok for most of the ppl to judge cause they are givin u good advice who are any of u to judge someone who received a present from her husband who got our puppy from someone who obviously didn't care or jus wanted to get rid of the baby?

Hi Kristen,
I read through the posts and it seems most replies were saying STAY, LEARN and SHARE, we welcome you. You are going to get different opinions when you tell a story or ask for advice. Some of us are blunt , others can criticize in such a way, you feel good for just trying. YT has many kinds of people, some of us are 'over the top' and not in the least tolerant. IMHO I feel the good far out weighs the negtive. I consider YT one of the most valuable sources of information I have ever found. I encourage you to keep coming back.

Personally I don't judge anybody. Because I don't care what other ppl do. But for me I never take,buy or ask much of anything without doing my own research and then validating it the best I can. Pretty simple. If you can post here you can search the web. Double check the sources ect.. If someone rescues of pup good for them. I won't think bad of them. If someone buys from a byb a teacup 8wks old. I would suggest researching more before you buy. Just because I wouldn't want somebody to support that breeder. Put them out of business. Like everybody we all have opinions. Bottom line what somebody else does doesn't concern me. I just go to the next post

Ok, there are people who lack people skills...My hubby is one. He means well, has the knowledge, but...he can't deliver his message in a good way. I'm hoping that's what happened, but from what I read in the 1st post, I don't think that was the case.

I'm not judging anyone, not defending anyone either. I just wish you guys didn't have the bad experiences. Please don't let a few keep you from enjoying the many good people here.

My husband received him from a friend who he thought he could trust hey have worked together for years so its not about us not doin our research because trust me I do my research since the day I got my puppy which is how I ended up on here because I was researching. Now that we kno we kno at wat age to buy the rest of our puppies everyone had to learn at some point u didn't wake up wit all the answers.

I agree! I have said it before...ME (when momma wasnt looking!) and every childhood dog I ever owned, grew up eating Purine Dog Chow, supplemented with Milk Bone Dog Biscuits....it was the only one that existed!!!! They can not be too bad for us....I am still alive, I have all my hair, no allergies, no liver disease, no heart disease, and all my past dogs, who wait for me at Rainbow Bridge, went there at ripe old ages, just worn out by living active healthy lives.

LOL! Same here! There was NO choice!

[LunasMomma]

I'm sorry that someone has been sending not-so-nice comments to you via PM That's not necessary and should be reported to Admin.

If your dog is doing well on a food, then that's what matters. There are so many to choose from and if you can't get your pup to eat a high-quality food well, then what's the point?

I do hope you won't let one bad apple spoil YT for you. Just ignore anyone that makes you feel bad and concentrate on those that are kind
