*I think Orijen's adult foods are 40%, 38%, and 40% protein. *All of their products are manuf. & pckgd. in their own facilities (not somewhere else) *They say all ingredients are "fit for human consumption" *They use "fresh" ingredients and list their vendors Here is a link to Champion Foods (make Orijen & Acana) FAQs. Here is their White Paper, which I LOVE love love! If I went back to kibble, I would feed Orijen or Acana (I feed raw). Btw, for those who switch btwn foods, just be sure to save some proteins in case of food allergies :). |

I decided to use a rotation diet because Sasha used to get bored with her food very easily, but ever since I began rotating her foods, I'm able to actually get through an entire bag now. I also do it so she gets different nutrients and protein sources. I rotate between EVO, Orijen and Acana. I also add a little bit of homecooked to each meal (only a forkful) and she usually gets a little bit of cottage cheese around lunchtime as a snack since she eats in the AM & PM. I think food is always a tough decision especially since yorkies can be such picky eaters, but I found that YT has so much great information on the topic that you're sure to find the right food & feeding guidelines for your little one. Best of luck to you!:) |

I was afraid that that was going to happen, but with Sasha it didn't. When I was still learning about the good quality vs. the bad quality foods, I had tried several other foods (Nutro, Solid Gold, Natural Balance, etc.) and she would get tired of them after 2-3 weeks. Once I started giving her the higher protein grain-free foods, she seemed to like those so much better and would eat them with no problems. Like I said before, I'm able to get through an entire bag of food now without her not wanting to eat. Plus, she now eats her meal right when I put it down whereas she used to go all day without eating and would only eat at night. Now I'm not saying that your baby will be the same way as everyone's furbabies are different, but this is just the experience that I'm having with mine. She became less picky, but more interested in her food once I switched to the grain-free line. |

That used to be Sasha (only she never tried to eat her poop:p) but she'd always have her nose to the ground looking for crumbs throughout the day...actually she still does that :rolleyes: but now she can't wait until mealtime! It makes me feel good knowing that she looks forward to her meals and that I'm giving her something that she's enjoying. Plus, I really trust these brands of foods. |

So, sometimes it's nice to not feed, say, rabbit, buffalo etc... or some of the more novel proteins...just in case you need a protein source that she's never had before, in the future. I hope that makes sense :rolleyes:. |

I really feel dogs can thrive on so many different types of diets. Rotation is one of them :thumbup:. |

Honestly though, if this were my kiddo...this is something I would try, bc it's cheap, easy, simple, they can really like it - which also makes me happy. I recently rescued a sweet Pitbull, and her appetite was a little "down" when she first got to our house, and it worried me :( - so I used the Parm. and it helped her appetite come back :). |

I will try the parm today. he still has about 1/4 of a 15 lb bag left, so I would like him to try and finish it. If I start to switch over his food, should I stop with the parm cheese, or continue if he likes it? |
