| It looked good at first from reading their description but when you look at the ingredients it goes downhill after the first one. Chicken, Chicken By-Product Meal, Corn Meal, Ground Whole Grain Sorghum, Brewers Rice

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i'm sure its good if its what you can afford and your dog would do fine on it but people on yt recommend higher quality ingredients that have be proven to help the coat/skin, allergies, and intestinal tract. its your choice. I personally wouldn't use it because its made my eukanuba/iams company..... yuck....

| Looks like they want to compete with Royal Canine -- with a special Yorkshire blend. I too stay away from any food with corn or by-products.

| I would never feed mine anything with meat biproducts in it again. They used to get it in their Caesars untill I found something better for them

| Wow, I didn't know all that. I knew some foods were better than others, but I didn't know that by-products and and corn meal were that bad. I would have probably used it without knowing any better at all.... Yikes. You know, if their "Yorkie" food can't even be suggested on a Yorkie forum, they either need to not make it or change the recipe. That's pretty sad.

| My Pixie eats the Eukanuba puppy canned food normally. Between meals though if she gets hungry, she gets the Iams hard food... however one bag lasts ages because she won't hardly eat anything she has to "crunch" I do try mixing it sometimes, but then she eats as little as possible...

| The breeders that we got Tifa from had their yorkies on Eukanuba. Their boy's hair was as coarse as a paint brush! They of course started the puppies off on it as well. When we took Tifa home we noticed that her hair (or what little hair she had) was a bit coarse as well, so we immediately switched her to Royal Canine, which is what we've been feeding Kiba. Her coat appears a lot more healthy now. |
