What do you feed your Yorkie FOOD POLL April 2009

[cinigee]

After years of trying every pet food on the market, including the vets suggestions...........my Yorkies wouldn't eat any of it. So I was boiling chicken breasts and giving it to them. My vet said that was fine, but they wouldn't get alot of nutrients with just chicken. We finally found a dog food they will eat.........Beneful Healthy Diet. My vet says it's not the best in the world, and not the worst......it has rice and veggies, and the important thing is they eat it. LOLOL

I make my own RAW for Lola. She gets carrots or sweet potato chips for treats. I also use EVO when travelling. She LOVES it and doesn't itch at all anymore!

Snickers and Baxter are eating a rotation of Timberwolf Organics and Innova Small Bites. I usually change their food every 3-4 months.

If you can't find a good quality dog food in your neighborhood, you can always try - Pet Food Supplies Dog Cat Bird ... PetFoodDirect.com

They carry almost every brand.

I checked "OTHER".

I am currently feeding Addiction Dry Food Salmon Bleu formula and Addiction is the brand I intend to stick with as her main course even though it's still not one my girl will eat all on her own like she used to when it was given as a "treat". She waits until she's hungry and her Daddy's around to handfeed this to her so she essentially gets this for breakfast (some mornings she skips breakfast) and dinner and as a late night snack. I also leave some out for her to free feed throughout the day but she doesn't like it enough to eat it on her own. I am going to try their other venison formula and maybe rotate them if available to be purchased here--I'll be saving the Kangaroo formula for the future when it becomes a necessity (allergies) rather than venture onto such novel protein sources for the time being.

Throughout the daytime, she gets generous "treat" portions of Halo Spot's Stew Wild Salmon Recipe dry kibbles which she's crazy about but I don't know if it's because it's "new" and she's fooled into thinking they're "treats" but she gets really into her treat training sessions with this also. I'm probably going to look for something else to replace this one again for the "treat" source as I didn't notice the "chicken" in the ingredients when I bought it (only noticed chicken fat and liver usage) until I looked at their website. I'm also not too sure about the "vegetable broth" being that I want to know what was used in making that "broth"... I swear I smell garlic and heavy sodium content coming out of the kibble... I was VERY close to trying some for myself to figure that out. The kibble sizes are near identical to Natural Balance's small bites in size and shape with maybe less density.

She's also getting very little of Wild Bites' Buffalo and Blueberry (new flavour) soft chewy organic treats. I try to give less of this now since I'm concerned about the rich fatty intake.

And I also very rarely give tiny tiny portion of Pure Bites Freeze Dried Beef Liver Treat. This is her super duper special treat but I break it into tiny tiny piece(s) for her. I worry about the rich fatty intake of too much of this too. When I first bought it, I had been much too generous on both this treat and the Wild Bites, that's also why I went back to giving her "real" kibbles as "treats" to minimize on the intake of rich foods.

[Ellie May]

Ellie's food is homemade but if I had to choose a kibble for a healthy dog it would be Innova, Wellness, Natural Balance or Science Diet Nature's Best.

[Hotel4Yorkies]

I feed Authority Baked Chicken. It has fruits & veggies and is a softer dry food. When I got Harley as a foster he wouldn't eat anything but I had a sample of Authority and he ate it. I have just stuck with it. For some of my fosters, depending on the condition of their teeth, I will feed Science Diet Senior canned.

[Micah my love]

We feed Eukanuba & have for a few years with very good results

The last poll was great, so hopefully no one minds answering the most asked question AGAIN??

What do you feed your Yorkie!!??

Currently Snickers is on a rotation diet of Nature's Variety Raw Medallions and EVO Chicken kibble. WE LOVE IT!!!!

Bailey is on Science Diet Prescription ID from the Vet because he's got a very sensitive tummy. Other foods was making him have constand diarrhea which would cause him to dehydrate... Good post

By the way, how do you set up a poll

[marcerella02]

Layla gets home cooking because of a health issue- but if i had to pick a kibble it would be Natural Balance.

[bjh]

I alternate between Chicken Soup and Canidae. Right now mine are on a combination of Chicken Soup Adult and Chicken Soup Puppy.

[Symph2001]

I feed mine Wellness in combination with homemade.

[tumismom]

My girls get Primal Raw in the morning and Homecook food (formulated by a nutrionist) which is Salmon and sweet potatos at night.

[tamaralandau]

My little Rico also gets Solid Gold Wee Bits. He absolutely loves it. Right now we are trying to find treats that don't upset his tummy. We are thinking about the NB Bison treats. Since that is the main product in his food. Also going to try and "dehydrate" a sweet potato and see how he likes it.
