| Need help with food decision My male yorkie has been sick constantly since October with ear and throat infections. We finally put him on zyrtec everyday and he is doing better. He has been eating Nutri Source puppy small bites food. We are near end of bag. It is the only food out of several I can get him to eat. I understand it is an inferior dog food. I tried Orijin and he would not eat it. He won't eat any food that is not small bites; the bigger bites seem to give him problems. I am at a loss on what to try. Does anyone have a suggestion? |

| I feed Solid Gold Just A Wee Bit. They're little bite sized kibbles. I've been using it for almost a year now, but am now beginning to transition between food brands & flavors because my furbaby has decided to become a picky eater. |

| Do you know what he is allergic too? There are plenty of great high quality small bite dog foods out there. It would be easier to recomend one when we know what he can not eat |

| Blue Buffalo and Wellness both offer a small bites formula. The Blue Buffalo small bites are very small and shaped like a Y to help with teeth.

| Since I seemed to have tried every food on this planet for Snickers, there are many that come in small bites...here a few I tried to get Snick to eat which I consider high quality foods: -Merrick (all flavors are small bites)-Snick was on Puppy Plate for months -Artemis Fresh Mix & Small Breed Puppy (if you email them, they send a TON of samples, a whole box full, many packets of the ones you request) -Solid Gold Wee Bit -Taste of the Wild -Nature's Variety Instinct -Wellness Small Breed or Core (all other Wellness kibble is BIG) -Canidae ALS Grainfree (I liked this one and so did Snick but BIG poops) -Blue Buffalo -Natural Balance Duck and Potato Small Bites I feed Innova Evo and love it...good luck to you...I hope you pup gets better!!!

| I have tried Wellness and Eagle Pack and he won't eat either one of them. I don't know what he is allergic to; apparently he had post nasal drip and the zyrtec is helping. I want to feed him a good quality food and Nutri Source has beet pulp in it I discovered which causes ear infections in some dogs. So taste wise in small kibble food I don't know what else to try. Also, do I still feed puppy food or adult food; he is 14 months old. |

| EVO is 100% grainfree and is full of meat. It also has a very short ingredient list which I LOVE!! Just the good stuff...I really cannot say enough good things about it. Snick is pooping out the smallest poops and EATS like a COW now...I'm so happy that my babyboy is happy.
