| I feed Nature's Variety Chicken and Rice formula. I try to find small treats like Zuke's mini naturals or these little star treats I found, or yorkie yummies (YT member chattiesmom sells them) for training because we always seem to do A LOT of repititions.

| I have been rotating Petcurean's Go! Endurance Formula and Fromm's Surf & Turf. We are still searching for a good training treat. I use mainly kibble right now, but maybe I'll give Zuke's a try.

| I feed Orijen Regional Red and Acana Grasslands kibble along with a variety of different canned foods mixed in. I also feed Stella & Chewy's and Primal pre-made raw food occasionally. Treats, I use real food like chicken, cheese, etc, often times for training. As far as dog treats go, the only treat he really LOVES is "Canz Real Meat" (Amazon.com: Real Meat Lamb Jerky Dog Treats:... ) but I have also used Zuke's among many others in the past. Anything you can find with one ingredient mainly most dogs go crazy for. I found 'Prime Taste Treats' and they're freeze-dried liver in Petsmart the other day that he loves.

Hey Brit, what canned foods do you use? A handful of times a year I'll add wet food to Kaji's dry food. I had been using Lotus wet food because it looks and smells like something made for humans but it's for dogs.

| I feed mine Blue Buffalo Chicken and Brown Rice (Small Breed) mixed with Wellness Super 5 Mix for Small Breed. For treats, he loves Wellness just for Puppy Treats, Wellness Apple Wellbars, Wellness Jerky Treats and Old Mother Hubbard Peanutty treats. From time to time I share an apple with him as well as baby carrots.

| I feed Rylie Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diet Potato and Duck Small Breed Bites. For treats we use her actual food for tricks and for big things, like going potty where we are supposed to and getting our teeth brushed , we use Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Treats Sweet Potato and Bison Meal (but I plan to mix up the treat flavor once this bag is out... I'm thinking the Sweet Potato and Venison next!). |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I feed Taycie Blue Buffalo Small breed Chicken and Oatmeal Puppy. I also feed the small breed BB wet food. Occasionally I will swith it up with the wet and either add Wellness Core, or Merricks Before Grain. I tried Acana Pacifica in the past and it was too rich for her so I use it for occasional treats which she loves She loves Zukes I also make my own chicken jerky. She loves baby carrots,sweet potatoes and green beans |

| Welcome to YT! And congrats on your new baby I feed EVO currently but will be switching when we run out due to P&G buying the company (Natura). Probably go to Orijen. I would continue with what the breeder was feeding and let your baby settle in a bit before switching food. Again, welcome!! We'd love to see picures of your new baby! |

| I feed Sasha Primal Raw in the morning and Blue Buffalo Wilderness kibble in the evening. She will eat just about any treat, but I tend to buy the healthy ones since I'm already such a food nut. |

| And I have never fed dog food. I've been homecooking for over 50 years. It's the best and safest. I've never had a sick dog. I've never had one with any type of cancers or other major illnesses. I'd like to say it's from not eating commercial pet products. Here is some good reading material for you if your interested. If you find a pet food that you think is legit, then ask them if they give tours of their rendering plant so you can see how it's made, and what it's made from.
