| I feed Natural Balance Sweet Potato and Fish formula. I've been using it for probably 6 weeks and have been pleased so far.

| I feed the Blue Buffalo puppy food right now. It has no fillers or by products no corn/wheat. You can get it at petsmart , and it's not too expensive...They seem to really like the food BUT they don't like the little "lifesource bit" that are in the food . I'm not sure if it's the taste or texture ( they are very hard) that they don't like, but neither of my dogs will eat them and they leave them all over the floor So I may try Wellness or Natural Balance next. It's a hard choice but it's good to do you research first. I was feeding bad food ( which at the time I thought was good food) to my dogs with no idea of how bad it was till I came here. Funny thing is we eat Organic and natural healthy foods...but I never looked at my dogs food labels Now I know better.

That's funny you say that because Turk use to not like the black bits either...he'd get one in his mouth and drop it, but then he'd eventually come back and eat it later. His bowl is usually empty now when I go to refill. Maybe they have to 'acquire' the dark pieces. lol | |

| We started feeding my mom in laws yorkie natural choice for pupies(outmeal ad chicken) she loved it for a while but once she started giving her food of the table the puppy now refuses to eat any other kind of dry food. my advice do NOT feed your puppy any human food because once the puppy tries it they will never go back to dry food. |

Very good advice. You can train them to go back to dry kibble, but it is v e r y difficult. | |

To those who don't feed people food at all because it makes them picky, that is very true, but on the other hand, dry food is way overprocessed and adding fresh food that is appropriate for them to their diet isn't a bad idea at all.

| I feed Snickers (6 months) Merrick's Puppy Plate and am currently switching him over to Merrick's Before Grain (Grainless) Chicken. (Both 5 star foods on dogfoodanalysis.com) Merrick can be given dry, or with some water which makes a great gravy. I love the company and the ingredients they put in. Good Luck and you will be a regular on this site for sure, it's crazy addicting and so jam packed full of essential things to know about your Yorkie. Smiles- Viv |
