Hello,
I am about to bring my yorkie home in a few weeks and wanted to know the best food to feed him and name brands that are better than others.

I started using Royan Canin for yorkies for both of mine, but then one had an allergy to the food so I have now changed to Natural Balance. I really like Natural Balance, I have also heard that Wellness is a really good food too. Hope this helps!

I feed Merricks to both of mine. They love it!

www.dogfoodanalysis.com is a great website to view food reviews based on a rating system. Most of us here feed 4 or 5 star foods.

Wellness, Canidae or Natural Balance for kibble.
Canidae or Evangers for canned.
I like homecooked best.

What do you think of the Eukubana, (? spelling), brand for small dogs? It seems many breeders start with this.

If you search for Eukanuba on the dog food analysis website I posted above, it is listed as a 1 star food. The pros that they list on the site are that the first ingrediant is a named meat product..The cons are that is contains insufficient meat content, byproducts, low quality grains and controversial fillers.

Personally, I would chose to feed a higher quality food. It really is up to you though. I know lots of people that feed Eukanuba, Science Diet, or Iams and do just fine.

I recently switched both my boys to Timberwolf Organics (5 star rated food). Of all the foods I've tried, this is the one they liked right away.

My two now eat NV Raw Medallions but before that we were using Innova and Canidae ALS!
