| One of best foods Hi....I'm new to Yorkie Talk and it has helped me tremendously. Yes, I too had my puppy (5 mos) on Science Diet only to find out from the wonderful people who use Yorkie Talk that it's one of the Top 10 Worse Foods. They recommended Innova EVO...go on the internet and research it. It's all natural...no fillers. It's hard to find and you may have to order it from the internet, but I found a small family owned pet store 15 minutes from my house and I actually got 1-1/2 pounds more for the same cost ($14.99). My little Peanut loves it. So much that I have to feed her one kibble at a time or she gulps it down too quickly. You have to ween them onto the new stuff gradually 80/20 for 2 days, then increase 80/30, and so on. They require less and are full longer. I also found puppy can food on the internet by Innova. That's due to arrive on Monday. I can't wait. If you're going to spend top dollars on your family pet....you might as well make sure they are eating top food. Good luck...Sheryl, Bartlett, IL (mommie to PeanutAnn) |

Sheryl..How old is your peanut?? Snickers is 6 months and is doing well on Merrick and I am really happy with it too, but he still has a few itches and I want him on the best. Is Peanut 5 months? Our vet said we can switch Snick to adult food now, so I was thinking Innova Evo Small bites. We tried Wellness Super5 but the bites are too big and Snick didn't like it at all. Wanted to know how old Peanut is b/c I am not sure if Snick is too young for grain free and high protein. Thanks -Viv | |

| I put my 10 month old on Orijen Dry for Adults. High protein, grain free. I had alot of questions so I contacted a lady named Diana 780-939-6888 at Champion Pet Foods. She emailed a bunch of info on high protein/grain free diet for dogs. She was very helpful. I put Odie on Adult because we bought him at 8 months. He was on Eukanuba and I switched to Wellness puppy ... he had alot of loose stools so I went to Adult Wellness and even more problems. Orijen makes a puppy formula, but I didn't want to do yet another switch after 2 months. Good Luck |

| Snickers Peanut is 5 mos. Born 8-2. She is doing great since on Innova EVO Small Bites. All itching gone. She is more calmer at night and more loving. Not hungry all the time. Good luck |

| A lot of vets reccomend Science Diet because of commissions and kick backs from the company. It is filled with by-products and fillers. Also I remember it having one of the three ingredients that many yorkies are sensitive to (corn, wheat or soy). I have people telling me how great they think their vets are but if I find out they reccomend Science Diet, I won't even look into it. A vet knows a lot more than you and I, so there is no reason that I can Science Diet is a mass produce low level brand of dog food and they can't. They may not think the ingredients can harm your dog but it's just not good enough in the long run. I have research to find Wellness & Solid Gold to be really good for both wet and dry foods. Pet Promise makes a great wet food as well but their dry food has corn meal. No good! |

| I heard Wellness Core is very good.. I have tried Orijen and Solid Gold, both are also good but mine is a picky eater. I am currently giving her Merrick Granny's potpie. She loves it, but I want to try Wellness core Ocean see how that turns out |

Senior Yorkie Talker | I have sold dog food in my grooming salon for the past 4 years. And Wellness and Solid Gold are both really a good food. But if you are looking for a food to feed feed more then 1 dog then I recommend Natural Balance. It is a good food and it comes in a bigger bag then 4 lbs. There are no fillers or by-products. My yorkies have done well on it for a long time |
