| I didn't make that point to say that YOUR vet was doing that. Sorry for the confusion. I should have elaborated and said what Ellie May said - most vets don't really know a whole lot about nutrition anyway.

| No worries. I appologize if I came off a little upset. I have been doing some research on my own and I thank you for that. I decided that I would take a look at a Petsmart while I was just hanging out in Minneapolis waiting for my husband. I have to say that almost all the dry dog food had some sort of by-product in the first three ingredients. And I did recheck the label on his food and the second ingredient is a grain. I guess when I was looking at ingredient labels I really was unsure what to even look for. I am not throwing away another bag of food so he's gonna have to finish it off.... thankfully it's the small bag. Are the any dry brands that anyone would recommend? I am not a fan of canned food as Jack has gotten ahold of Benji's (our kitty's canned food that we give her as a treat) wet food and ended up with runny stool. And we only have a Pet Co in the city I live in so it would need to be a brand I can buy there. Thanks!

As for other brands, they also carry Natural Balance, which I've heard great reviews from. Solid Gold is a pretty good food but my babies didn't really like it and it gave them stinky poops.

Yorkie Yakker | I am feeding my boy Nutro Natural Choice Puppy. I have heard mixed things on this site about that food, some say good, some say bad. What I would like some feedback on is how much food he should be eating at this point. He is 3.5 pounds and is 8 months old. He is a grazer so his food is out all day. I just fill it when empty. I would say he is eating between 1/4 and 1/2 cup a day. Is that enough????? |

| I started my dogs on the Eukenuba Yorkshire, & I love it! A little more expensive than the Nutro/Iams.. but well worth it, I have seen my heavier Yorkie lose some weight & the size of the food is PERFECT for them. I once in a blue moon feed them the Purina Beneful, but i mix 1 tblespoon of it with their dry food. They love it! Hope that helps |

| Evo is a great food!! Is it the kibble or the canned? Some people have had problems with the canned because the fat content is pretty high.
