| Well honestly people here have tried to give good advice so that all of us can raise healthy pups. People with years of experience with yorkshire terriers. After having them these last few years I have come to realize they are so very different than any other breed we have owned in the past and believe me there have been many (labs, boxers, poms, beagles, bassets, daschunds, american eskimo, plots, and more) I will personally take all the advice I can from the people who have all this vast knowledge. Appreciate them more than I can say.

| I know when I am still a relative newcomer, relatively wet-behind-the-ears on a particular subject, I myself tend to follow the experts and authorities in that particular field, since they are the ones with years of personal experiences and long histories in that field of interest. I find the Yorkie owners here, some of which have a history of long years in this breed, know a great deal more about the best in nutrition, diet and nurturing of the Yorkshire Terrier breed at all life stages, including puppyhood, than any of the websites that generalize their information for all dog breeds and mixes or have an agenda to promote. I've been here long enough to see those long-timers here roll up their sleeves, help and work with an OP about their dog's various nutrition-related issues, difficulties and dilemmas through to happy resolution of the problem over and over and over, so their wisdom carries a great deal of prestige and clout with me. I'll always put my money on the esteemed voices of authority on this site over all the others when it comes to all aspects of caring for the Yorkie and I would highly recommend others do the same as you are learning about this breed and its often highly-specialized needs.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet Isn't that what the world tries to teach us? But seriously, a vet goes to school for YEARS to obtain the information that they have. I think I would trust an experienced vet as opposed to an article on the internet. I would also trust the experience of people who have owned and have been feeding raw food to their Yorkie's for years & years as opposed to someone who just started feeding raw to their Yorkshire terrier. | |

| For all of those buying processed food for their yorkies, they'll continue to need their help. I never said you couldn't appreciate them. If old school processed food and buying supplements work for you...good for you but I'm not buying it. My dogs don't have tarter on their teeth from kibble and I don't have a vet bill for skin, teeth or other diet related issues. I'm not planning on brushing Pooky's teeth for him with toothpaste and force a brush in his mouth everyday when he can keep them clean himself by eating raw bones. A lot of people still buying processed food and dying from it instead of eating whole foods. Their educated doctors aren't complaining and neither is the health insurance providers. Why would they treat their pets any different? Course I know some that do...hehe Last edited by pookybear; 02-17-2013 at 10:02 PM. |

| I would rather feed mine processed food than have them choke on a chicken bone because I don't know what I am doing with the raw I am feeding. JMHO

NOTE: He didn't try to eat any poop today! I attribute that to the diet change! | |

| My children are grown . And I believe a marble would pass easier than a sharp bone shard. Best of luck with little pookie.

Two days of reading about a raw diet and then blindly giving it to your PUPPY is exceedingly irresponsible. You are coming across as if you are starving your dog and people are freaking out over it. Yet you CONTINUE to post questions, asking for advice, blowing respected and senior members of this forum off and then switching things around as if YOU are an expert, which you are far from. You are posting irrelevant and incorrect data/websites and citing WRONG texts and information. There are a lot of new members on this forum and when someone like you comes along posting this crap and pushing it to the top of threads, it can become extremely dangerous. MEMBERS, please be aware that: -- We can only estimate your puppy's adult weight. -- You cannot force your puppy into a weight that you want by starving it. -- As with ANY diet, you must do your research and speak with educated professionals. -- Do not give just any bones to your dog, regardless of the age or size of your dog. -- Do not start a raw diet after only 2 days of reading. This is a very dedicated diet and unless you buy pre-made raw, there is a lot of self-educating you need to do. -- Educate yourself on everything about a puppy before you get one. Is a puppy right for you or is an adult (at its' max weight) better for you? There are many PMR feeders here that would be GLAD to help you, honey. But I do not believe that you will be willing to listen to any of us as your past posts have proven. Please be respectful to all members of this forum.

| PERFECT example. You are disrespectful to those giving you advice you DON'T want to hear and you are disrespectful to all of these new members by the wrong information you are passing on and acting like you are a small dog/Yorkie expert. Fortunately for these new members, all of your posts are up along with all of your comments like the one above. I just hope that they read through the pages of your threads long enough to see why so many of us are upset.
