| I'm thinking of switching myself to this dog food. I have a friend who uses the dry kibble with a little of the canned food mixed in with it and her little girl loves it. Both our little furbabies are picky when it comes to their food so it's a relief to find something they will eat well. She uses the kibble small bites (I think). Hope your little one likes it.

| We use the dry small bite kibble. My baby is SOOOOO picky and she loves this. Except, she picks out all of the little vitamin bits and spits them into a pile by her bowl. DIVA! |

| We recently switched to Blue small breed. My two love it and I like that it is a holistic food and best of all no ethoxyquin.

| We use the dry kibble and my girls love it. (But give them a little wet, too, of a different type of food.) Piccolo has had Pancreatitis in the past and the Sweet Potato and Fish does not cause any type of reaction with her.

| I'm having issues with my dog eating this, and that is why I posted this topic. He's on the fish formula. I've switched him this past summer from Royal Canine to Blue. I've lost track of how many different brands he's been on, but it is over 8 different ones. Now he's not eating the Blue brand. I've got some of the wet and mixed it in. He ate it for a while, but now he's picking out the wet and only eating that. I tried today not to mix any wet in and he has not eaten all dog. I gave him and mixed a little wet in. He only ate the wet. What should I do~? Switch formuals~? Or switch brands~? |

| After reading your last post I thought for a minute you were talking about my little guy. He's the same way when it comes to his food. For now he likes the small kibble mixed with about a tablespoon of the wet dog food stirred up well. No water, no heating. Another thought is how much are you giving your little one. Are you giving him too much at a time. Maybe if you use the same kibble but you use different types of the wet each week to mix things up a bit. If you figure it out let the rest of us know because I'm sure we're not the only ones with picky eaters.

| My little girl arrives this Tuesday and this is the food that I bought for her. I have read all over that it's one of the best foods for yorkies. I will be feeding the dry puppy formula. I heard that you shouldn't give yorkies wet food, as it can rot their sensitive teeth?

| After joining the YT forum and learning sooooo much, I switched my adult mini schnauzer to Blue Buffalo. She constantly chews at her feet and after reading lots on here I thought it might be a corn allergy. She loves it (even the dark 'vita bits'). Our Yorkie puppy came from the breeder on another food, so I was going to wait a bit before making any changes with her. The first thing she does when she gets out of her ex-pen is run for the schnauzer's bowl to see if there's anything in it and if so, gobble as much as possible before we grab her and/or the bowl. I got her some small breed puppy Blue Buffalo today. Mixed 3/4 old food, 1/4 new (BB) as recommended. She's not always an enthusiastic eater but she gobbled her dinner tonight. When she was done, there was a pile of the old food kibble left in the bowl, so I guess the Blue Buffalo was a hit! I've read good things about BB and am looking forward to seeing how both of our dogs do on it. |
