Can someone please recommend a good dry dog food for yorkies that provides a good balance of nutrition? Thanks!

Here is a site that sells dog food of all makes and brands. I like to use the site, because you can select a food and at the bottom of the page it lists all of the ingredients. Mine eats Natural Balance Ultra-Premium. It is shaped like a flat round instead of the usual shape and she seems better able to chew it. She loves it, too. Good luck!

You should definitely change to a better quality food if possible. None of the grocery store or wal-mart brands are good quality foods and in order to provide a healthy diet and food that is good for their teeth, I would recommend changing to a good or excellent quality brand food.

www.dogfoodanalysis.com will give you a good idea as to which foods are good and which are not...Try to stick with 4 and 5 star foods. Some of the ones that I hear many of the members here feed are Merricks(www.merrickpetcare.com), Canidae(www.canidae.com), Natural Balance(Petco), Innova, Life's Abundance, Solid Gold(Petco)...You can look them up and go to store locator to see if they sell them near you. If not, you can purchase from www.petfooddirect.com

I just ordered some Canidae dry food, wet food and treats online. I heard really good things about it. I just hope she likes it, she is very picky.
