| Is My Yorkie The Only Non-Picky Eater? I have read many posts where folks are worried that their yorkies aren't eating enough. They only eat 3 or 4 pieces of kibble at a time, won't eat certain types of puppy food, go all day hardly eating a thing, etc. My Betty has not met a food that she doesn't like! She has tried and liked lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, green beans, celery, lima beans, rice cakes, And these are not things that dogs normally go for. You name it, she will probably eat it! She must take after me |

| Peanut will eat anything that is not moving. Lol She eats lettuce, popcorn, chips, goldfish crackers, cereal, pasta, broccoli, the list goes on and on..... Toby is on the picky side. Funny thing is that Toby weighs 6 pounds and Peanut only weighs 3 pounds. Go figure!

| When I read the threads about the poor people who have the picky furbabies, I always thank my lucky stars! We call Muffin "Piggy Pig" & "Hoover Hound" quite often. She will eat anything. I dropped one of those little sweet gherkin pickles on the floor a few years ago & she chomped it right down. CJ

| I don't think I've come across anything my boyz don't like except for raw lamb meat and Wellness foods. They love raw beef and they will eat the lamb if they have to but it takes them a while to choke it down! I feed them Nature's Variety raw food and when I gave them the lamb they sniffed it, circled their plates, looked up at me and I swear they had their noses turned up! Other than that...no food is safe from my boyz! |

| I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but I'm glad she loves food! Muffin will eat any kind of pickle. (After the sweet gherkin incident, I started seeing if she'd eat other kinds...haven't found one yet she won't gobble up!) She'll eat any fruit or vegetable that I've given her a bite of. I wouldn't venture into the world of spicey foods, but I'm 100% certain that a little bite in the food wouldn't slow her down one little bit! Bless her bottomless pit of a stomach! CJ

| My girl would eat all day everyday if she could. Every time it's time to go to bed she's running to her food bowl and looking at me like "Where's my food". Keep in mind it's one o'clock in the morning! I shouldn't complain but she eats a lot to be so small. I don't know where she puts it all! |

| Brutus is a slob! He will eat ANYTHING! My poor kids can't even have a snack after school without him jumping on them and crying until they give in and give him a cheese-it or something!

| maggie doesn't eat much at all. I can't entice her with much of anything. It's weird...my min pin eats each meal like he will never eat again. maggie just picks at hers. and we have tried several different foods. the one she likes the most is royal canin and she eats enough of it, i think..but she just picks at it. some days she does not eat the full recommended amount, others she eats what she is supposed to be eating if i "make" her. by making her, i mean, i play with her. make her chase the food. LOL even that doesn't work all the time. yeah, I don't get it. be glad yours eats good

I steam veggies including brussel sprouts and then mash them up with a fork and he licks his plate I am very happy that he is not picky. He has a cold now and his appetite has not decreased

| Max loves everything! Any food that drops on the floor is taken to his spot under the couch where he can eat and we can get him. He also will try to get the cats food...
