what do you feed your yorkie

[KJLive]

Taste of the Wild. The new Lamb formula. If you email them they will send you samples.

I just went through a year of trying to find a food my baby would eat. I even tried cooking for her. Finally, I tried Stella & Chewy's dog food and she loves it. I consider it to be a very high quality dog food and intend to keep her on it. I'm just so glad to have found something she likes.

Both Petco and Petsmart will let you return food your dog wont eat as long as it's a premium brand. I don't think they will give you cash back(maybe I've never tried) but they will exchange it for another brand or flavor of your choice.. Just buy the smallest bag and make sure you keep your receipts..

I personally wouldn't feed Eukanuba or any food made by the Iams company. Poor quality and company history of animal cruelty.

You can read food reviews at this site: Dog Food Analysis - Reviews of kibble

There are some good brands available at Petco and Petsmart if you do your research. If you are willing to drive to a specialty store, you will find better quality options.

Like Iams, Eukanuba was once a good premium pet food who built a really good reputation through the quality of their product. But they sold their company and with it their brand reputation to P&G, who reformulated the product for mass production.. It's not the same food/formula that it was when they made a name for themselves. Even if they just change suppliers it changes the food, but going to mass production required a lot of product, supplier and quality control changes.

I wouldn't feed it to mine just because I really don't have a lot of faith in the corporation, they aren't quick to recall if something comes up, and their primary motivation is financial instead of nutritional.

That being said, I know a lot of people who use it will have dogs who are just fine.. I'm just an over protective mommy to my fur baby..

I think that any young and healthy dog will do alright for a few years on something like Eukanuba but it's the years after 6 or 7 that you are going to start seeing problems. You can't feed a dog a mostly corn and other grain diet with artificial vitamins and not end up with side effects down the road. Our dogs are coming down with cancer and diabetes at record rates.

Our town has a pet boutique that sells only 2 kinds of dog food that they find suitable (because they have all kinds of good ingredients and aren't full of additives like corn): Canidae and Taste of the Wild. The woman who runs it told me that Taste of the Wild is something she definitely recommends, but she recommended for me to give my baby Canidae until she's maybe 6 months and then switch to Taste of the Wild because the Canidae is a little bit smaller first of all, and because Taste of the Wild either had a little too much protein, or the Canidae a couple of proteins that are better for puppies (not sure which exactly: I was overwhelmed with information that day, lol). I think my puppy's breeder has her on Eukanuba now, but it's not quite as good as the new brands, so I'm willing to give it a shot.

Hope that helped!

P.S.,
Taste of the Wild can be found at TSC (Tractor Supply Company)!

My dogs loved this too. I used to shred it over top their kibble. Until everyone started gaining weight and I read the packaging a little closer. It has over 40% protein! Just keep an eye on it.

Miss Picky LOVES TOTW, she's tried & liked all of the varieties but I seem to feed her the Lamb formula more often since it's one of the leaner ones. They did send a ton of samples, I think it was like 48oz.
