Kibble vs Canned??? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

ArmaniMan, Brister and Ellie May made some good points which I will def think about. That's interesting because all four vets that I've used said kibble was the best, and had facts to back it up, but who knows. A lot of people on yt probable know more than most vets!!

I guess I've been lucky because I have always brushed my furbaby's (Prince (RIP) and Ian) teeth twice a day, every day without fail, and had bi-anunal dental check-ups.
If I were to use can food, I have no idea what I would use because I never buy can anything.

In general, if a brand is good, it is good- kibble or canned.

I really just mix it up with cans, since I feed so little of it anyway, I just grab a couple of cans of something each time I buy food. I have used Go!, Natural Balance, Halo, Merrick, amongst others. Mine tend to prefer the "stewed" kind like Merrick offers.

Thanks everyone for the advice and replies. Believe it or not....tonight she was eating her kibble...go figure. I think I may try giving her a can when we are eating our dinner to see if it keeps her from barking at us and begging.

We only feed kibble, right now it's a mix of 2 brands while I'm getting rid of a not so great food. I give them yogurt melts and dehydrated fruit (gerber graduates) as treats and Noah is still getting baby food from the jar twice a day. I give him green beans baby food occasionally too.

I feed them dinner when we're eating dinner, and I never feed table food. I don't even put their bowls and treats on the table because I don't want them to think food for them comes from there.

How do you get them used to teeth brushing???
