| Fussy Eater Hi, I am new to the forum. I was searching online for information on feeding Yorkies and came across your forum. My little bundle of fluff is 6 months old and has always been a fussy eater. In South Africa we don't have the same food options available to us as you do in the States. Tinks is currently being fed Eukanubu (spelling) dietry puppy food, and tinned food. We were feeding her boiled chicken but then she doesn't eat the Pellets (kibble) I see a few of you make a "home cooked" food for your animals, what could you suggest. Appreciate any help, getting Tinks to eat is a constant battle. Joanne |

| Welcome to YorkieTalk I would say if you don't have too many good options there I would home cook. There are recipes on here but please don't forget to supplement. It is very important. I think you will just have to keep switching things up and see what she likes. Sometimes people will just leave the kibble down for three or four days and the dog will eventually eat since they won't starve themselves. I couldn't do that though, so I would find something that she likes.
