| New Yorkie Member Hello, My husband and I just recently adopted a yorkie 2 weeks ago for my birthday, her name is Brandi and she is 7 years old, tiny lil thing, anyway what can I do for her scratching at her hind legs and biting at her paws?? and I have one more question... What kind of dogfood should I be giving her?? I am feeding her Eukneuba and Little Champions packets of Casserole Dinners with Beef, Noodles and Vegggies. Thank you for your help |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Welcome! Nice to have you here! We feed the Diamond Lamb & Rice (it wasn't on the recall list and our state wasn't listed). We've been very pleased with it so far.

| Hello and Welcome to Yorkie Talk. I feed my fur kids Diamond Lamb and Rice formula and at night they get a little Nutro Ultra canned mixed in with the dry. They free feed on dry through out the day. Regarding the itching it could be a number of things. Allergies, type of diet, shampoo not being rinsed well enough, flea allergies, etc. I would visit your vet for the best diagnosis to her itching/biting. You sure received a wonderful Birthday gift!! I look forward to seeing pictures of your Yorkie girl Brandi.

| Hi and Welcome to YT. You will find really wonderful people here with a lot of great advise. Can't wait to see pictures of your baby. I free feed my two Solid Gold Wee Bit. Regarding the scratching/biting I would ask the vet, it could be a number of reasons.

| Hi! Dogs can be allergic to corn, which can make them itch. Corn is a main ingredient in Eukanuba. It might help to switch foods. Here's some good choices: Canidae Wellness Innova California Natural Natural Balance Ultra Premium (available at PetCo) Try Pet Supplies Plus or a small independent pet store or feed store, or the internet. You should also talk to the vet to see if there is another cause for the itching as well!

| Welcome to yt. i agree maybe check for allergies but also make sure she doesnt have fleas... if its just dry skin you could bathe her with a little baby oil in the water... thats what i do. good luck with your new baby.
