| I need help finding food :( So, we're at a loss here and I'm not sure what to do! We've tried so many dog foods and nothing seems to work! She was on puppy chow when I got her and I switched her to Royal Canin. She seemed to like the food but constantly acted hungry even after getting a little more than the recommended dose. We then switched to Blue Buffalo which she ate, but it really upset her tummy and she was bad off. Now we're on Nature's Recipe and she'll eat it, but she picks at it. She doesn't really like it. We don't have any large pet stores around here other than Petsmart. And now that we've tried everything there, I'm at a loss!! Do you guys recommend any I can buy online?

| These are some place you can contact that will send you free samples. It takes time to get them, though. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...e-samples.html Or, you can go to Lukes and get a sampler pack for one-stop shopping. It will have a lot of samples that are not in the above link, probably shampoo and snack samples, too: Dry Dog Food Sampler Pack - Luke's All Natural Pet Food All of the foods you will get from these links are excellent choices. See which ones your dog likes and go from there to see if they agree with agree with your girl. (Just because a food is high quality doesn't guarantee that it will agree with your dog's digestive system, it might work fantastic with one dog but cause problems for another).

| Rosie eats Bil Jac for dry food. She also has a prescription can food she eats. I could not get her to eat anything when we first got her. We tried 3 or 4 different ones. My mom suggested Bil Jac and Rosie loved it. It has worked for her. You may try it. It can be purchased at Petco and Pet Smart I believe. |

| Premium & Organic Dog Food and Dog Treats - Free Shipping often has good deals, free shipping, etc. Pet Food Online | Dog & Cat Supplies & Products | PetFoodDirect.com is also a good one. I would recommend Acana, Orijen, Now!/Go!, Fromm, Nature's Variety, Taste of the Wild. My friends 4.5lb yorkie, Bandit, has a pretty sensitive stomach and used to have alot of digestive issues, and since starting Acana, he hasn't puked or had diarrhea or anything!

| We LOVE Wellness! I don't think PetSmart carries it. I do suggest Lifes Abundance also. I know a few YT'ers sell on their websites.. try searching for that. The shipping costs were the only reason I didn't keep purchasing it. |

| Thanks! I ran up to a local store today and they just got in some new dog foods! I ended up talking with a friend and she requested Solid Gold. Bri loves it, but then I got to researching and I read that it contains ethoxyquin. Now i'm worried I contacted the company to see what they say. Then I guess i'll have to make a decision.

| We have a picky eater with a sensitive stomach too and our last resort was Orijen. Maggie now eats it with a good appetite and has no diarrhea spells anymore. |
