Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I rarely feed wet food but if I do, I use Natural Choice for small breed puppies. My little girl loves it and it was recommended by my vet when Bonnie was being picky when she was sick. |

| Will she not eat the kibble unless you add a wet food? RC has canned food also, in those short cans. If you have to add a wet food, I would stick with the RC canned....especially if you are adding just a dab to the kibble! A short can would have multiple servings in it.....cost efficient! If she eats the kibble without the wet food added, I wouldnt add wet food....just me personally. That kibble has everything in it she needs to develop and grow into a beautiful baby girl! When I had a couple that had to be more calorie controlled. They have a calorie controlled kibble, but they had been on the Mini Adult for their entire life and loved it....didnt want to rock the boat!I had to cut back on the kibble she was getting and I would just add some French Cut Green Beans into the kibble and they loved that! At her age, she should still be on the RC Mini puppy. It is smaller kibble and it is easier for her tiny mouth/teeth to manage. When she hits 10-12 months old, I would switch her to the RC Mini Adult. I like the shape of the kibble in the mini Adult better than the breed specific Yorkshire Terrier Mini.....seems it causes them to chew that kibble longer, rather than the little pillow shaped kibble, so I have always just fed the Mini Adult rather than the breed specific. My dogs coats are beautiful, have been for many, many years.... I would leave her on the puppy food until closer to 1 year old simply because of her size..... I have used RC for over 35 years and I am very happy with the results evident in all my dogs! Last edited by Yorkiemom1; 02-14-2015 at 08:39 AM. |

| We give Bella who's 4 months- the wet Blue Buffalo puppy food. She loves it. We give it to her 2 times a day. Just a little little bit and she gobbles it down in seconds! She eats the dry Blue Buffalo puppy food as well. We switched her to this brand after she wasn't eating the food the breeder gave us. It was recommenced by the vet. |

| Oh dear I went to chewy as that is where I buy all my supplies and was going to order Spice a couple cans of wet food and they only sell them in cases and there are so many to choose from!!!!! What kind of canned do you use. I just add maybe a teaspoon or little more to her kibble twice a day. |

| I have been given my dogs wet food with their dinner but I am not buying anymore cans. I feel they are fine on just dry and I would like to spend the money I would use on canned food for other things for them.
