| Looking for a new food I tried posting this earlier but for some reason it did not go through, so if it pops up later, I'm sorry for the duplicate post. I have an almost year and a half VERY finicky girl. When she was a puppy, I fed her Blue Wilderness Puppy. Once she turned a year old I switched her-first to Wellness Core Small Breed, but I noticed that she started having tear stains, and I thought it was from the food, which I later found out not to be true. I switched her from Wellness to Merrick Beef, which she HATED, so I tired her on Solid Gold Bark Over the Moon. She seemed to like that, but it also seemed to make her constipated. Yesterday I went to Petco and bought a bag of Canidea Grain Free Duck.....she has thrown up twice, and doesn't seem to want to eat like she normally does. Has anyone else had this experience??? My Nola is on the small side-a little less than 5 lbs, and I want to make sure that she is getting enough nutrition, but also enjoys her food.... Is anyone else struggling with this, or had this issue, and if so, how did you resolve it??? |

| Royal Canine Yorkshire Terrier formula. I'm sure she will love it and it gives a wonderfully shiny coat too.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I haven't had this issue at all but as far as what I'm feeding, I feed pre-made raw by Primal. For a kibble, have you tried Nature's Logic?

| Jackson loves his new Farmina food. He's never much eaten dog food that enthusiastically before. It's available on chewy.com but my local stores said they were getting it soon. He did love the Royal Canin YT formula as well, but it gave him softer/bigger poop, he tends to have issues w/ chicken tho.

YT 1000 Club Member | I have four dogs, and, I'm not sure if this would be best for just a single animal, but... I've tried several formulas, and my guys selected several of them ! I now have THREE types of food out 24/7, those being Beef, Sea and Foul formulas. They select which one they want that day, not all of them want the same, and may move between them in the same sitting. I can clearly see that they enjoy the variety. I use only 4 and 5 star formulas, and you might find one which is acceptable to you via this link... http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/best-dog-foods/best-dry-dog-foods/

| My three have been on Earthborn Holistics - Coastal Catch for a long time. My daughters rehome has recently been switched over to it (we did it slowly over a month) She looks GREAT! the whites of her eyes are so clear and she shines, her hair is also coming in much smoother and is growing out the crinkly dry look.She also smells much better! |

| We do well with Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrier formula. Mine do not have soft or large stools on this food - quite the contrary actually.

| I just bought Logic for Ian today! I got the sardine / veggie kibble. It looks like a great product. Have you tried it?

| I highly recommend Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrier my extremely picky girl loves it. They actually do feeding trails to make sure there food is what works for the dogs and is getting them everything they need many " holistic" brands do not do that and there main concern is marketing it for the people not making it for what the dog needs.

| We fed Gina the Royal Canin Yorkie 29 puppy, and she had an allergic reaction to but did very well on the RC Puppy. Since turning 1 last week we are introducing the RC small dog adult, and she is doing very well with that as well, she also gets when we are eating it, apple, which she goes nuts over, green beans, tuna, cheese(several varieties) and some times a little bit if scrambled eggs with no seasoning. She free feeds, and is in great health. Cheers Quad & Gina

| I feed mine Acana Pacifica. I was feeding them Acana wild prairie but decided to change up the flavor. My fur babies like it and it's grain free.
