hello yorkie friends just wondering what you all feed your babies what type of food i just brought my baby boy some NATURES BALANCE :thumbup:he was eating SCIENCE DIET:thumbdown: this is what the VET ORDERED but i dont like the ingredients thats comes in the food he havent ate the food yet how should i change the food ? thanks friends

Feeding Fur baby
 

I feed my Yorkie Wellness Small Breed Formula, she loves it just dry and plain.

Mine love Merricks Dry food... Especially Merricks Before Grain (Chicken) So far its been great for my dogs.. no problems at all. Its a very good food.

It seems all vets want to give science diet. I try to home cook as much as possible, but I feed Eukanuba when I don't have time. Some people here don't like Eukanuba, but I don't have any problem with it.

I am feeding the "kids" Natural Balance dry (no fish meals ingredients) and Merrick canned. Usually rates fairly high. Do a search on YT for more food threads/posts. There's scores of them, some can get very "lively":D.

I just switched over to premade raw mediallions from NV and I am so glad. My girl is doing very well on it and I can sure tell the different in her hair, it's so shiny and silky looking. As well as she only poops about once per day and it's very small.

I feed mine Life's Abundance :thumbup:

I feed Polo Orijen Adult Kibble. He loves it and devours it like its chicken:D

I feed Miracle Natural Balance Potatoe and Duck and Rebel gets Chicken Soup for the puppy lovers soul hard food and Blue Buffalo soft.

My girls all get the Life's Abundance kibble and canned! :)

I cook all of Bently's food. Chicken, rice, yellow squash, carrots and sweet potatoes. After it's cooked I grind up two multi-vitamins and mix it up.

He loves it.............

My puppies eat the Wellness canned puppy and the Wellness kibble - which I still have to soak in water because they are so small and Sebi just got his front teeth a few days ago.

My two older girls (both 2 y/o) eat the Natural Balance and it is the first food that I have tried that they both LOVE. I finally have my girls totally on dog food whereas before I would sometimes cook for them just to get them to eat a good meal. They gobble up the NB like it's going out of style.

I was going to put the babies on the NB too, but the kibble is really large, more like a wafer, and they don't make a puppy formula. I understand the other is fine for puppies, but I decided to start with the Wellness and switch them over to the NB when they are older.

I don't know that you'll find an answer as to which is "best," but you'll find a lot of good opinions :)

Stella came to me on Royal Canin, which she LOVED, but I wasn't crazy about it because it made her itchy/dandruffy. So once she was about 5 months and had most of her big girl teeth, I changed her over to Natural Balance small bites and she really didn't like that unless I smothered it in Innova or Wellness wet food. I was talking to the guy at Luke's and apparently it's a fairly bland food so not all dogs will eat it (which I investigated myself by sticking my head in the bag...it doesn't really smell like much...lol!). Now I have her on Taste of the Wild Wetlands and she likes that a lot, although it doesn't come in small bites and apparently it has ethoxyquin used to preserve the fish in it...so I'm sure we'll be switching again soon, but at least for now she's eating by herself.

The guy at Luke's also gave us like 6 or 7 samples to try and so far she LOVED the innova dry food (so much so that I've been using it as training treats!), so I think we might switch to that when she's a little older and it's cooler out so she can work off the protein.

My best advice wouldn't be a particular food but rather to try a few samples (there's a sticky in the nutrition section with addresses you can write to for free samples) before you buy food you want your baby to like.

I feed Sophie Eukanuba small breed puppy kibble, too and will switch her to Eukanuba Yorkshire Terrier formula kibble when she moves to adult food. She likes it, her coat is shiny and she has no potty problems. There are lively debates on this subject but I like the Eukanuba because it offers breed specific formulas.

I'm w/yorkie_mama....I switched to NV medallions and my girl is the happiest yorkie on the planet...I got Apple @ 11 weeks, and until I switched her to NV raw, it was a battle royal trying to find something she liked, and I was always "adding" a little of this and a little of that so she would eat...She was only weighing 4 lb. 6 ounces...Since switching her, she dances for her food, weighs 5 lbs. and is doing great! She can only have two medallions a day, because of her weight, so I also give her a few slightly cooked carrot circles, green beans, and a small slice of apple a day (all organic)...She loves her mealtimes....:D

I have Sasha on a rotation diet of grainless foods. I had tried many "high quality" foods but once I switched to high protein, grainless foods, I've noticed a huge difference in her appetite and appearance (not that she didn't look good on the others before). I use Innova EVO, Taste of the Wild and Orijen.

I feed a rotation diet... EVO, Instinct, Orijen, and CORE

I feed Tink Wellness Core Original with Wellness Small Breed Formula mixed in. She loves it and has no problems with digesting it. Her coat looks good and she is the healthiest she has ever been and that's saying alot for those of you who know her history.

What is a rotation diet? Do you mix them all together or keep switching between them?

Mine loves Merricks chicken before grain dry food best

Yup mine too (we shop together) lol!

food
 

i was feeding royal canin and switched to that dick van pattens small bites but then found out it has that fish stuff in it and my dogs dont really like it i feel bad for them now what dont want something with a lot of protein either now what.....:confused:

i feed the honest kitchen force formula; human grade semi raw dehydrated food Untitled Document

Keep switching between them. I change brands & flavors after every bag.

Yorkie Food
 

I was told taht Great Life would be a good food for my "Angel" but I can't find any pro's or con's from Yorkie owners. Anybody know anything about it. Right now Angel is on Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrier Puppy Formula and her stools are very hard, almost like rabbit pellets. Really would like some definite input.

Thanks.

there's not much reviews out there; some people say its good some don't. i took a chance and ordered it to try it with my dog who has IBD. she couldnt tolerate it or digest it; too many ingredients. her stomach was making noises. so i ordered the ziwipeak dog cuisine dry food and she loves that and it's great for her; it's raw air dried food (like beef jerkey); it's great for dogs.
also i got the tripett venison green tripe to add a little moisture adn she goes crazy for that. the smell is horrible but its good for dogs and they love it. also the tripe has digestive enzymes and amino acids and many benefits. read about them; do search for ziwipeak and tripett reviews

I feed Acana Prairie and Grasslands :thumbup:

Chloe eats Royan Canin Puppy 33 (She is 1/4 Miniature Schnauzer 3/4 Yorkishire Terrier). A little bit of it dry with some Wellness Puppy wet food, heat it up in the microwave, and she loves it! Sometimes I'll chop up some vegetables before putting it in the microwave.
