| What do you feed your yorkie? Looking for Suggestions! Hey all! I am very new to yorkietalk, but am loving it so far! We are getting our very first Yorkie in January! We are very excited! I am looking for an all natural food that I can feed to her when she arrives. What did you feed your Yorkie when he/she was a puppy? Also, what do you feed them now. Looking for something that is all natural, but also not too expensive! Thanks for all your help!! |

| I'm still feeding Turkleton the 'puppy' formula of BLUE Buffalo. He seems to like it fine. I got him the chicken the first time and just started him on a new bag of lamb and brown rice. It runs about $16 at PetSmart for a 6lb bag. It's all natural and loaded with good stuff. Have a look at the website if you want to read more about it...

| I feed PMR or Prey Model Raw. I find that it is actually less expensive than what I was feeding before but this is because I tell all my friends not to throw out freezer burnt meat and I ask hunters for donations so I actually haven't had to buy food for my dogs myself in about a month. But it's not for everyone but if it interests you, this is a really good thread about it.... http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...odel-diet.html |

| I don't feed kibble- i home cook- but if i was going to feed kibble i'd feed Natural Balance. I like their ingredients- they have grain free options- great allergy formulas and since the recall- you can now go search your bar code and see the testing your bag went through- which i think is a great step towards accountability! But just make sure whatever you choose that real protien (vennison, fish...duck... rabbit) are the first few ingredients. Don't buy any food that has ANY bi products, corn or wheat. Food can be confusing! But you are doing a great job by looking into it now before your baby arrives Keep her on whatever food she arrives with for a few weeks until she adjusts to your home and then slowly make the transition. |

| Oh Also some food might seem expensive. but the bag of food will last you a very long time. especially when they are a puppy. their portions are just so small. |

| I feel Life's Abundance. I have 4 dogs (3 Yorkie pups) and 1 BIG dog (106#). I feed all on Life's Abundance for about $.60/day. The food is great, it has never been recalled and it is all-natural/holistic with probiotics. If you want more information go to: Welcome to Trilogy If you would like some FREE samples - just PM me! No pressure - just an opportunity to try it free! Congrats on getting a new one. They will bring smiles to your face that you didn't think you had in you!

| I feed Innova EVO but Innova is not ok for puppies. When they are over a year it is fine but not for growing puppies. All I can suggest is don't get the puppy specific food, get the adult kind. Puppies should not grow faster than they should (especially in large breeds). I have not researched puppy foods as I have never had a puppy. Vanessa |

| I feed my 4 year old Yorkie Blue Buffalo and Solid Gold. I get the Blue Buffalo for small, picky dogs, and Prince loves it. (It seems to give him a lot of energy!!!) I have only seen Solid Gold with small kibbles. I only give him dry (kibbles) dog food. Prince's mom |
