Personally, I feed all my doggies Eukanuba still. I like reading these posts because I wouldn't mind changing to a "better" quality dog food. BUT I have never had any problems with the Eukanuba, Small Breed Puppy and my doggies are all healthy, and have nice coats!

Maybe we should start a survey about the dog food everyone feeds their Yorkie to see what the majority likes...it would be interesting and great information...

I think all dogs are different. There is not a #1 food for every dog.

I agree! I don't think all dogs are the same. I know mine CANNOT handle alot of protein!!! Thats why we use Science Diet, and we have healthy, happy dogs. Although my vet recommended trying because of the amount of protein is lower than most, it still has enough I had to mix it with something else. (OR we would still have the runs all over the floor still to this day!!).... I think it depends on the situation, after trying all of the REALLY EXPENSIVE dog foods, it was the only one that was ok for their sensitive stomachs. So although these 6 and 5 stars are getting all of the attention, I don't think they work for everyone. They didn't for us.

I also agree all dogs are different...just think it would be fun to know what the majority rules!!!

Yep, all dogs are different But it would be kinda neat to see what everyone feeds. The reason I feed a 5 star food to my maltese is only because there are NO by-products whatsoever. The ingredients are all natural and Human Grade, and that's important to me. Different things work for different doggies though I don't see any reason to switch dog foods if your dogs do well on certain foods unless you want to
Miko does Not get an all natural dog food like my maltese because he has to eat Hill's prescription dog food for his liver and bladder stones. And that's what works for him and keeps him healthy
