I agree! Before I'd buy food at PetsMart, go to: www.naturapet.com

Type in your city & state or zip code and it will tell you the names/addresses closest to you that carry the super premium foods. Those are the best and PetsMart does not carry any of them.

Since the Yorkie is so small and they don't eat much, you want to give them the best food possible and super premium is the way to go.

Someone should make a poll of all the different foods so we can vote.I would like to know too? What kind of food is the best.I just started using Eukanuba but i found out Maggie has dry skin at the groomers fri.i am not sure if that has anything to do with that or not.I also noticed bad breath in both my dogs.

Muffie's Mom · 02-20-2006, 05:44 AM

That would be a great poll. Has anyone started a poll yet on best foods?

I was at a Show last summer and one of the older more experianced Judges was asked about foods and coat quality and such. She flat out stated she always used Authority and found it absolutely right up there with any premium brand and had all her animals on it with beautiful results.

This was right when she was center of attention during a JUDGING!!!

If you can't find Innova at your local pet food store call some health food stores near you. Our's carry Innova, Solid Gold, and several other high quality pet foods..

Royal Canin puppy 33 or royal canin YOrkshire terrier. Nutro is also good.

onlyambs · 02-20-2006, 09:32 AM

Thanks for all the suggestions!! I tried finding a innova near me and there were no results. Im also not sure of any healthy stores around me. I think Im gonna try the Nutro. Theres many different kinds though at petsmart, If you could you please list a link to the one you get or the full name that would be great!! Thanks!

I tried several dry foods before I found Innova. It is supposed to be the best and there are several varieties and bite sizes to choose from. They have small sample bags, maybe they can send you some so you can taste -test them with your dog. (I did)

Look at the Nutro and then take that bag and compare it to the Authority Harvest Baked. I think you will like the Harvest Baked better. The ingredients are great.

I just bought Nutro Max and bentley is already chowing down on it!! I am so happy he likes it! He's never eaten his Eukanuba like this before!! Thank you all for all your help! I also got some Nutro treats so I'll try them out later! Nutro was a big hit!! Thanks again!

We got the Natural Choice brand because it has the small bites, which is the only one my girls would get!! But all of Nutro is awesome....you made a great choice!!

Jenn218 · 02-20-2006, 02:48 PM

We switched from Royal Canin Yorkshire Formula to Nutro Natural Choice Lamb and Rice, but the kimbles are about the size of a marble......is there small bits for the same food? We are still mixing the foods, as the new food is bigger bits then Mojo is use to. I have chopped some in half, but who wants to do that all the time?

I too did not have any places around that sold Innova....so I am stuck with what we can get at PetsMart or PetCo.

Ginger loves her Nutro Lamb and Rice! She was itching, itching, itching before we switched!

Mine have been on Ultra for a while and they love it. No complaints from me either.

StewiesMom · 02-20-2006, 02:54 PM

I use Chicken Soup. I buy a bag from a feed store around here and it's wonderful. Of the brands at PETsMART, I would have to say that I would probably use Nutro Natural Choice.

Chicken Soup is actually cheaper by the pound than most foods at PETsMART/Petco. Just an FYI
