| I would say a little would be okay - you may want to try a different brand of food if she doesn't like her current one.

| It's okay to try different foods. I have to keep switching every now and then. My dogs get bored with their foods.

| Im thinking that fruitloops wouldn't sustain a healthy diet/growth for your Yorkie just as any human as it's all sugar. Id try to give maybe Gerber chicken sticks or something along the healthier lines of food. Too much spice, salt, sugar, wheat products are not that great for the fur babies. boiled chicken, eggs, carrots, peas, etc might be better. Have you talked to your vet? They might be able to help get your fur baby onto a healthy diet.

| Jack likes corn chex, he has a couple every morning while my Husband is eating his breakfast (actually it is to keep Jcak from scratching at his leg and causing a blister)..... He also likes apples and cheese, although he only gets them on occasion, especially the cheese. He loves the Ceasar puppy food, I mix it with the dry pedigree and he just gobbles it up.

Sorry just from experiance, science diet is not the best food out there. You want more natural product that contain no ash, or animal bi products!!!

ITA! My girls eat Canidae. It's all natural, no by products. Look at the first ten ingredients in your dog's food. It should have at least TWO protein sources, and NO by-products at all. Also, corn meal should not be one of those first ten ingredients either. | |

| Gucci likes Cherios. I used to feed her Science Diet, and i learned here that is not a real healthy food. So i switch. Science Diet first ingredient is corn. Im feeding her Nutro Max, but i think she might be allergic. Someone memtione Innova so im planning to switch her food again. |
