Small kibble food? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

sandy simpson · 09-30-2012, 06:30 PM

Hi Yorkie Lovers!
I am the owner of two little male Yorkies, Spud and JoJo. I have them both eating Blue Buffalo and am very happy with that food. Spud eats the senior food and JoJo is a year so he is on adult food now. Small kibble and very healthy ingredients. Only the best for our precious Yorkies!
A friend told me I should mix some wet with their dry food. Is that healthier for them or should I just stay with dry?
Thanks!
Sandy

My boys are eating Fromm Salmon A La Veg right now and loving it.

If you're feeding a good quality food, it doesn't matter if you feed wet or dry. I like to add canned food to kibble to increase Toki's water intake and to encourage her to eat breakfast. Feeding wet food can be more expensive if that's all you're feeding but supplementing kibble with canned food is a great way to add variety and increase the moisture in the food.

FROMM's kibble is pretty small. Mine love their Chicken a la Veg.

You have to order it on line....You can google Vet's Choice Little Bites....or email the lady I order mine from...Liz@vetschoice.com. Ask if they can send you a couple of sample bags to try before you order a larger bag....be sure you get the Little Bites....

Thanks for all your replies. Now I have another issue to ask help with. My one Yorkie, Spud will pee on things when I leave to go on a walk. I just spent $300.00 at the vet because of this and the fact that he drinks lots of water. All tests came back ok. Why the peeing on his bed? Are dogs that smart to deliberately pee on stuff?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks, yorkiemom. I will email Liz.

Sandy, you probably should open a new thread
regarding peeing issues so everyone will see your
question since this is a food thread.

Fatalivy · 10-02-2012, 06:26 AM

Yorkiemom, I sent the email and will be getting samples. TYSM!

In the meantime, I have purchased Fromm Surf and Turf and today they ate faster than I've ever seen them eat. LOL

tokipoki · 10-02-2012, 06:34 AM

Toki's currently eating the Surf n Turf! She inhales her dinner, even as we are getting toward the end of the bag

I feed Tallulah Nutro Natural Choice Small Bites. They make a small breed formula too, but being the frugal college student, we just went for the Small Bites. The kibbles are the size of pencil erasers and have always been really easy for her to eat.

I received samples today of Vet's Choice Little Bites (thanks Yorkiemom1) and OMG, the kibble is soooo tiny. It is perfect for my tiny maltese. His mouth is so small. I also took advice from others and got Fromm a couple of weeks and I must say, my dogs LOVE it. I gave a small amount of the Vet's Choice mixed with Fromm today and it is a win win over here. I don't think I've ever seen them all eat so quickly. LOL For now, I will use these two in my rotation, so they don't get too bored. Is that ok?

Sounds good to me! I'm curious to know how tiny and what shape is the Vet's Choice compared to the S&T Fromm? I'm glad your pups are loving their new foods!

I took a pic, but don't know how to attach. Please help.

Fatalivy · 10-10-2012, 02:39 PM

Hope the pic attaches.

Vet's Choice on the left, Fromm on the right. Nope, didn't work.
