What type of dry food are you feeding? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Sandysbabies · 05-26-2009, 07:45 PM

Innovia small bites, Evo canned and sometimes I buy Royal Canine for small indoor breeds.

Solid gold wee bites. They are doing well and no itchy skin.

Im in the process of switching my guys from dogswell to innova small bites. They seem to like it and so far no problems.

That surprises me because Innova adult small bites are super tiny.. you would think they would make thier puppy food tiny.

Innova's puppy food is made in a triangle shape with a hole in the middle.
I actually trust this type & size puppy food more than any other.
I have never had a puppy choke on Innova puppy food.
I have had puppies choke on wellness & other small bite puppy food.
All of my litters are raised on Innova puppy & go to thier new homes with innova puppy.
If you have a puppy that likes to swallow food instead of chew - you definatlly need innova puppy food!

I use Innova puppy food for Zeus and sometimes he has trouble chewing the kibble. I just moisten it or break it up. Out of curiosity when did you switch to adult food from puppy and what food do you suggest? Zeus is 6 months old now.

I do moisten the puppy food at first when the mother weins them from her milk & i'll mix in the can innova puppy with it.
usually by 10-12 wks old they dont need it moisten anymore.
I switch them to adult at 1 yr old.
I only Use Innova Puppy or Innova Adult Small Bite.
I have used Canidae, Wellness & Solid Gold.
I do recomend them to people who can't find Innova in their area.

Thank you! I am going to keep with the Innova brand as I switch to adult food.

just make sure you ask for the small bites.
Both small & regular are in a the green bag & the bags look so much alike.
small bites has a picture of a yorkie & regular bite has a picture of a german sheppard i think. Good luck with your furbaby!

I'm going to switch to innova based on the recommendations of the posters on here. Hopefully, that will help some of her current tummy issues. I just wish that they sold it in more places

lovespandp · 05-29-2009, 08:17 AM

I have peanut on Innova Evo Red meat-small bites....is that made by innova or evo..I am confused. He does really good on it, good poop, not really a smell, he eats about 1/4 a cup in 2 days. The kibble is a great size!

goddess77 · 05-29-2009, 01:07 PM

I wanted to tell you guys that my baby seems to like Innova. I went to the only pet store that sells it on my side of town, and they had a ton of sample packs to give me (for free). So, I brought home several different kinds, hoping that she would at least eat one kind. She's a very picky eater and every other new food I tried, she wouldn't eat. I have a ton of dog food in my house that she won't touch.

Well, the very first kind I tried, she devoured. Plus, it gave her some energy back because she has only been eating that ID wet food for the last few days, and it didn't seem to be enough for her. I mixed the Innova in with the ID, and she ate every last piece. I'm still going to try some of the other kinds so that I can make sure to get what she really likes, but I'm happy with the change, and she's happy too. Thanks for the tip everyone!

I am so very happy right now!

Which one did you try that she loved (first)?

Max loves all the Innova ones (samples) he has tried (EVO, Innova and a sample of CA Natural).
