Can anyone recommend a dog food - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Southbark · 11-15-2012, 06:23 PM

My little Hankey really likes salmon beneful we give are beagle and I want to find something for him. As it is becoming a problem as Hankey will try to eat Stella's (the beagle) food while she is trying to eat it has gotten so bad we have to feed them at separate times instead of together otherwise a fight starts and Hankey has even figured out how to unscreww the lid to the beneful and hop in.

Just picture a 3.5 lb yorkie in a 30 lb dog food container chowing down to his hearts content. He likes and eats his Bil-jac small breed food. He loves salmon though. So any help would be appreciated

Fromm

Southbark · 11-15-2012, 06:45 PM

Is Fromm available at Petsmart?

Fatalivy · 11-15-2012, 06:48 PM

I haven't seen it at petsmart. I had been getting it at a small pet boutique, but just ordered from Dog and Cat Food, Treats, and Supplies | Free Shipping at Chewy.com last night and it shipped out today.

I also recommend Fromm! You'll have to get it at a local independent pet food store or online (totally worth it!)...they have a Salmon a la Veg which is grain-inclusive (Toki has had that variety and done well on it). They also have Salmon Tunalini which is a grain-free formula.

If you're looking for something at a Petsmart or Petco, my sister's yorkie did really well on the Blue Buffalo Wilderness Salmon formula. I'd also check out Nature's Variety...both of those brands are pricier than the Fromm though.

I will have to ask around about the Fromm. Not sure where to get it in Sacramento,ca but the other 2 I will get a small bag and lett Hankey try them

Thanks for the help

I would not feed an brand by purina because they are the makers of waggin train chicken jerky that is killing and making many dogs sick and they refuse to pull it and fix the problem so goodness knows what they could be doing to there food.

FROMM all they way! Fromm Family Foods Gourmet Dog & Cat Food, Naturally Holistic

MY OSCAR · 11-16-2012, 02:08 AM

my dogs also eat Fromm and do really well on it.
however if you need to do your shopping at petsmart they do have several good brands there as well.
here are a few..

Blue Buffalo

Organix Small Breed

Innova Prime Grain Free

Castor & Pollux Ultramix Grain Free

also a lot of people like Royal Canin Yorkie for their pups and some do really well on it....

I rotate my silky and yorkie pack between natures variety and blue buffalo, I can buy both at Petco, blue is also available at petsmart, but they don't carry natures.

Another great food that has a salmon (fish) formula is Horizon Legacy Fish Forumla. If there isn't a retailer in your area that carries Horizon, you can check online at petflow.com. There may be others that carry it too.

I'm gonna have to jump on the Fromm bandwagon! We are loving it!

Dog food is kinda complicated .... lots of differing opinions. But there are aLOT of companies out there who are not trustworthy, so don't let 'natural' or 'holistic' fool you. And don't *only* focus on an ingredient list, make sure you check out where the food is made, manufactured, how many recalls and how they handled them, etc.

I choose Fromm for their awesome customer service, trustworthy company, the food, it's a small family owned company, etc.
