I might just give them some ppl ice cream tonight. I don't trust those frosty paws since they are made by purina.

It's ok for them to have the Frosty Paws in moderation. I wouldn't give them more than 1/4 at once, and not more than 2-3 times a week.
And about Purina, it's not a good brand in general. Their dog food has a lot of fillers, and because yorkies are small and don't eat a lot, they need to get a better, more natural and nutricious kibble.

I'll just say it how it is. Purina products are garbage. There food has byproducts (which is okay if they mean organ meat...gross if they mean blood and intestines). They don't like naming their animal products (they say animal fat and don't tell you what animal they got it from). I am pretty sure they use preservatives lik ethoxyquin which is very controversial. I think it's quite dangerous. Their food is also full of fillers with little nutritional value.

Bruce has had these a couple of times, but NO MORE...Last time I gave it to him he would barely eat it, and the small amount he did eat gave him loose stools...Not reccomended for those with sensitive stomachs...

I gave mine some regular ice cream last night and they just loved it!
