| Would you like to go grain free or not? High protein, moderate or low?

| Innova Evo has NO grain is very good in protein and fat, you can do INNOVA regular and that has VERY LITTLE GRAIN, you can also try Dick Van Pattens Natural Balance. These are all great foods that I have experience with. Others say Wellness, Orajen and a few others I am sure they will chime in soon this place is very helpful. |

| My favorites are Wellness CORE, Nature's Variety Instinct, Orijen, and I am considering Innova EVO. Good luck!

| I was thinking of trying royal kanin or Iams. I know a lot of research has been done on Iams. Has anybody tried Royal Kanin? |

Royal Canin, in my opinion, is overpriced for a low quality food. It has also been known to cause a lot of itching and allergic reactions in Yorkies. However, there are many members here who use it without a problem.

| Really? Baxter has been scratching around his neck, but I assumed he was scratching because he has dry skin around his neck. The dry skin is already noticeably better, but he still seems to scratch occasionally. I know it isn't fleas, I've had him treated recently, and I haven't found any on him, but I'm wondering if its his food. He eats Royal Canin and absolutely loves it. And the vet said it was a good brand of food.

| I love Natural Balance for a kibble, but I prefer raw (NV or Primal). I actually prefer Primal as all their meat is sourced from the US and animals are only fed US sourced grains so none of that contaminated junk from China.

Thor's Human Donating Member | I recently tried Solid Gold, and I am very happy with it. I was having trouble getting my yorkie to eat wet dog food, forget about dry. He gobbles his Solid Gold kibble down light lightning, though. The company has had a few recalls, but if you look at their website, you'll see that the company is extremely vigilant and committed to quality food. They are very highly rated. One thing I have noticed is that Thor is pooping a lot more frequently, pretty much every time we go out, and his stools were harder than I would have liked. I've been giving him maybe a tablespoon of various veggies to help everything move through his system smoothly. |
