not science diet

Please not Science Diet. It is horrible. Innova is, in my opinion, one of the best foods available but we feed homecooked and Canidae. I think Canidae is really well balanced and all ingredients are from the USA. Roxanne_mi, most vets recommend Science Diet or Iams. They do not have good ingredients. I highly recommend this site: dogfoodanalysis.com Four and five star foods are great for Yorkies. Six star foods are awesome but have a lot of protein which may be too rich for some Yorkies.

thank you for that site, I will definately check it out. I wasn't sure if the vet was saying to feed her iams because iams is the company that supplies their new puppy folders.

I think I will check out some of the recipes on here and try making some homemade food for her.

We have used several foods, but are currently feeding Dick Van Patton's Natural Balance Sweet Potatoe and Fish. We were in search of a food that would work for pups with sensative tummies and all stages of life....and this was one of the recommendations and has proven to work for our pups!

I just got a bag of Taste of the Wild dry dog food. I think its made by the same person who makes chicken Soup Puppy, which I adore. Well, it was love at first bite!!!! It is a grain-free kibble. So far, so good!! Ingredients are great too. Lynn

That is definitely why the vet was recommending it. They have tons of samples from them and all sorts of goodies are given to the vets. When I had gotten my first Shih Tzu the vet had recommended Purina (I was switching from Royal Canin). I sat and looked at the bag and realized that there were a lot of fillers in it. Needless to say I switched vets and never bought that stuff. I wanted a natural food with no gunk...mine you he was recommending this because of all the samples and other incentives that they had gotten from the company.

I wouldn't use any of those. I use Solid Gold. Just my preference.
