What are you feeding your yorkies?

[Verbena]

I was feeding California Natural. Then the recalls. Switched to Canine Caviar. A lot of pups love but Galen didn't so now we are working on Taste of the Wild Sierra. So ar so good. He is not a big eater

Blue Buffalo is a good food. I had my three on it for awhile with no issues. I switched to a grain free food ( to help with weight issues) and now am feeding Fromm.

When we first got Gus Gus the breeder was using Life's Abundance really good organic kibble. Then we wanted something a little less grains and used Evo he loved it but after the recent recall which he did not get sick on we found at a local pet store Ziwipeak he loves it. He does prefer the fish one more the lamb.

Kibble mix of Solid Gold Wee Bits and Wellness Core grain-free low fat.

My vet said to be sure my 9yr old dog gets senior food. I noticed my one store stopped stocking the wellness food. I am still wondering if I should change the Blue Buffalo food to something else. I am concerned about all the complaints about this food. My dogs are doing ok on it, no problems, just don't seem to like it.

[Wylie's Mom]

I feed premade raw, mostly Primal brand.

We also are fans of Royal Canin, but I really don't believe that there is one best food for all Yorkies, it really depends on your pup. I think the company has an excellent reputation and I feel really safe feeding my boys this food, plus they love it and are doing well on it. Lots of us give the glucosamine and chondroitin supplements, you don't have to buy a food with it. These supplements are great for the joints as the dogs age. Most pet stores and even Target sells the supplements.

Royal Canin.

Just posted a reply elsewhere... but I feed Royal Canin Satiety prescription food and Small Dog Weight Mangement also by Royal Canin. I have two Yorkies between 3 and 4 years old that need weight management, and with just a teaspoon of Natures Recipe Chicken and Vegetable topper mixed in, they go nuts for the diet food. The boys are doing great on this.

When did you start feeding the supplements to them? I was thinking about getting some for Leila however she's 5 months old. Is that to young still?

They say you shouldn't do it before the age of one, I think he was around two. He has a slight luxating patella (grade one) in one knee and I was hoping it would keep it from getting any worse. It helps keep the joints lubricated.

[Kentuckyyorkie]

Fromm grain free for my two! Doing great on it!

[iLoveLittleRoxy]

from day 1 all my yorkies have been fed royal canin for yorkshire terriers. i tried switching to eukanuba once but they didnt like it. i only have one yorkie now and she is still on rc she loves it. i also have a picky eater, a cat though and when he tried rc for cats he loved it.

Thanks! I also have a 2 year chihuahua who maybe could start on the supplements now. I will have to check it out since they are also prone to knee issues.

Orijen is supposed to be the best dog dry food there is out there.
