What kind of dry dog food do you feed your yorkie? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

maggiesmom_2007 · 06-20-2012, 09:49 AM

I was feeding chicken soup (before the recall) and even though they were okay with it I noticed they weren't that enthused about eating it even mixed with their canned. So I got some samples of Fromm's at a dog show and started switching them over. I have noticed a huge difference, bowls are clean and empty all the time. Recently I made the decision to cut out the canned food all together and so far no complaints. they are eating it just like they did with the canned. Right now they are eating the Chicken a la veg. I really like this food for them and with all the different flavors I don't worry about them getting bored with it.

Are the Vet's paid to say Science Diet is the best?

Cause that's the response I got when I asked mine.

From reading here, I knew I wanted to switch Petunia to something that didn't have all the fillers and was better for her.

It was a toss up between the ACANA and Buffalo Blue. There isn't any place around here that sells ACANA so I went with BB.

Petunia LOVES the Wilderness chicken recipe. She went to town on her food and ate like it was her last meal. I know she approves!!!

When I was first thinking about mkaing the switch from Royal Canin when Riley was a tiny pup I was told to google Consumer Complaints for Blue Buffalo. That is what made up my mind. I have been with Acana since then... Have tried a few thing since but always go back to Acana. That is what he thrives on and that's what I'm sticking with. I also do Nature's Variety raw organic chicken for one meal and then kibble the other, or raw both, or kibble both. Just depends.

Each dog of course is different so stick with whatever your dog thrives on.

You can order a Lot of the dog foods from mrchewy.com for $4.95 shipping.... or FREE Shipping for orders over $49. I have ordered on a Saturday before and it was at my door that Tuesday morning.

We have been rotating between the different Fromm 4-Star Nutritionals formulas. They seem to like all the flavors. My dogs love variety so I get a different flavor each time.

Right now Tibbe is still on Hill's Gastrointestinal I/D Kibble but the pieces are sooo big for his tiny mouth. He turns his head sideways trying to eat some of those pieces. I have crushed it up with the mallet to help. And I serve it soaked in warm water - that helps a lot.

I feed our two year old yorkie Fromm's Whitefish and Potatoe. For treats I give her Fromm's cranberry and liver lowfat treats.

crystalsmom · 06-25-2012, 05:21 AM

Lots of good food mentioned here. I like Innova and Origen.
