I'm sure these questions about food come up a lot... Sorry... but here's my question, hopefully someone can help! My yorkie is 7 months old, and doesn't want to eat his food. When I got him he was on Eukanuba, which I took him off of as soon as he was settled in with me so I wasn't changing everything at once. Before I changed his food I noticed that he was chewing his little paws quite a bit, so I changed him over to Natural Balance, Duck and Sweet Potato, he stopped chewing, so I am self diagnosing him as having an allergy to wheat. He doesn't get any so he hasn't chewed. :-) Anyway, he's been on the Natural Balance for about 3 months now and has completely lost intrest. He seems to only eat it when he's hungry at the end of the day. (We had been on a eat at 7 am and 4 pm schedule). I recently changed the 'flavor' of the food from the duck to the fish, thinking that it might help, but it hasn't. He isn't yet losing weight, and I'm hoping to find a solution quickly so that we don't have a problem with that! I know that he is hungry, and/or wants to eat because when we are at my mom's house he goes straight for her dogs Iams... which I refuse to give him. When he tries to eat it I pick him up and put him in a room with his food and he won't touch it. Has anyone had a problem like this? Does anyone have any food recomendations? Thanks! |
Hi! I would reccomend Life's Abundance Welcome to TrilogyOnline Pets Even my most picky eater LOVES this. Its made with the freshest, high-quality ingredients, which gives your dog the best quality possible! It is a dry dog food that contains all natural chicken and top quality catfish with the best fresh fruit, vegetables and select farm foods. Life’s Abundance also contains a superior blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants important for healthy dogs. Contains no artificial flavors, colors, sugars, or chemical preservatives. It also has NEVER been on a recall list :) If you'd like to try it, I'd be HAPPY to send you a free sample for you to try!!! Just send me a PM with your address and I'll send it right out :) If anyone else is interested as well. feel free to shoot me a PM :) You can read more about it here: Greens Treasured YorkshireTerriers | Michigan Yorkie Breeder, Yorkie Puppies for sale Quote:

there are MANY picky pups on here!! I home cook myself, but i know many people contact various companies (Solid Gold, Orijen, Wellness) and ask for samples. Also what about trying a canned food? |

That looks like a really good food... is it available in stores or just online? Also, do they have different flavors or just the chicken with catfish? Thanks |

What is great is that its an All Stage Life food, so my adults AND babies will eat it! Yes, there is just the one flavor BUT all mine go crazy over it! its so funny! Even Brodie..who will turn his nose up at a treat....goes crazy over the food AND its sooooooooo healthy for him. WIN/WIN ! :D It is all I'm going to feed! Oh, and they have great treats and chewys too!!!!! Let me know if you need anything! |
If you are truly suspecting allergies - I would HIGHLY recommend Wellness Core Ocean or a similar allergy food. Personally, I'm not a fan of Lifes Abundance - it contains fillers and doesn't have great meat content (read the ingredient list carefully) - and when you're dealing w/ allergies, this is very important to pay attention to. :) |
changing food Yes, I would love a free sample Jack has started chewing on his paw and Bella is chewing on her legs they are eating chicken soup. But I don't know what else to try. I'm excited it has fruit? They like crandberries, pineapple, and strawberries. Hope that is good for them. (don't know) Thank You Cheryl/Jack/Bella:) |
