grain free dog food I see alot on here that people feed their dogs food that is grain free. Is grain not good for yorkies? Im a new yorkie mom and just want to make sure my baby gets what he needs! |
Hope you get the answers you are looking for! We feed grain free food because they don't NEED grains, and some dogs have allergies to grains. Hopefully someone else will stumble upon this thread with more information for you, but since it is late at night you are not likely to get more responses until morning. I'll check back tomorrow and try to get some other folks to post on this thread. Welcome! |
sounds good. I just wasnt sure but the allergy thing makes sense. right now im feeding my 12 week old Eukanuba small breed puppy but soon i want to switch to something higher quality, but still affordable. I just wanted to make sure to look for the right kind because i want whats best for my baby but there are sooo many different kinds to choose from! when dog foods say they contain "no fillers" is it grain they are talking about?

I have one of mine who has terrible allergies so we cut out all grains as they can be a source of allergies. |

Eukaneba is not that high of quality of food, so it is good you plan on changing foods. Remember when you go to a higher quality food, you will likely feed less, so the cost overall per meal will be less. Some people do not agree with a grainfree diet - the biggest thing I would say stay away from any food with corn in it! You can go to this site & read a list of ingredients for almost every food on the market - there are opinions & ratings out there - but remember this is someone's opinion. I would recommend using a 4 or 5 star food. Many (not all) avoid the 6 star foods for yorkies because they are higher in protein Dog Food Analysis - Reviews of kibble |
just to give you an idea about fillers - here's some info: "Products like corn and corncobs, cereal by-products, feathers, soy, cottonseed hulls, peanut hulls, citrus pulp, screening, weeds, and straw are often included as inexpensive fillers or low-grade fiber content. These fillers are often added as pet food ingredients to help decrease the overall cost of the food, especially when pet food manufacturers attempt to keep their pet foods at a certain price point despite rising manufacturing, marketing, shipping, and related costs." |
