what brand dog food do you feed - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

We tried Canidae, Maggie had an allergic reaction. So now we're on home-cooked and Solid Gold (bison & salmon). I made the mistake of switching brands suddenly without mixing a little at a time. So I blame myself for Maggie's adverse reaction to the Canidae.

I have also played with different ideas like homecooked,raw,solid gold,merrick and of course canidae i am just wanting to make sure whatever brand they end up going to that it is in kibble form

Chicken Soup for my babies. They do get a little egg mixed in the mornings and shredded cheese or boiled hamburger or chicken at night. They are fat, happy, and healthy!

I just have to share this!!! When I first came to YT, I saw that several people recommended Chicken Soup. So I opened up a can of Campbells chicken noodle soup for my girls and poured some over their kibble. Of course they loved it, and when I told my daughter about it she almost fell on the floor laughing.
She said, "Mom You are so clueless, that's the name of a dog food." Duh!!!
Needless to say, I no longer know everything, in my daughters eyes.

LOL That's funny and cute

I'm sure they did love that! Definitely not something you'd want to give regulary...VERY high in sodium

Artemis for small breed adults here

I have my boys on Nutro... I tend to change their food regularly and found that the only one they love more than nutro is royal canin. However my budget does not allow me to feed them that all the time, so I bounce back and forth b/t Nutromax mini chunk and royal canin!

Gastrointestinal or itching?

I'm just in the process of switching mine from Royal Canin to Canidae. They seem to love it so far.

I use the nutro natural..mine all love it..they've been on it quite awhile, and will stay on it..I was buying it at our petstore, but found TSC has it and I save quite a bit of money by buying it there..you can also get a coupon for a free 5 lb bag of the nutro..

katcarasella · 02-01-2008, 01:50 PM

Severe itching, vet had to give her a shot.

Sorry Ellie May, I meant to hit quote.
