Natural Holistic Foods..a recomendation If anyone is looking for good quality foods I highly recommend this place. We used to feed our previous dog and cat Iams brand food, ever since we got Fozzy we switched to Natural foods and wow what a difference (I'll be honest the only measurable comparison is the cat, our previous dog was hit by a car). But when compared to our previous dog a Westie, Fozzy rarely gets sick, which is a blessing especially when you consider his size and the amount of freedom we give him. I'm in no way trying to advertise or push holistic-propaganda; I'm just tossing out some options to members of this board. We swear by this place and the people here are very good nice too.

Which food do you feed your Yorkie? My Yorkie doesn't seem to like the taste of alot of the Holistic foods out there.... |
Back to Basics (Chicken or Pork) :aimeeyork |
Totally confused. Corn is the second ingredient in Back to Basics food...everything I have read says avoid corn.... |
True, Corn is a low source of nutrient grains. Rice is a much better source for nutrient grains for dogs. I know that my Fozzy get's a good amount nutrient grains from the rice we feed him. We give Fozzy boiled rice and chicken as treats on a frequent basis (multiple times a week). I've never heard of corn being bad for Yorkies/dogs just not the best source.... Hope that helps. |
corn sometimes is associated with allergies in dogs also chicken. Corn is just a low grade of grain nutrients and by-products is another no no. |
This link helped me a lot when choosing my Yorkie her food....if everyone has time and needs help with choosing a food you should definately read this....http://www.volhard.com/holistic/artbywv.htm |
yea i feed hershey solid gold holistic food and he seems to hate it.. he only eats it when he gets realy hungry. |
archie loved neura and wouldn't eat anything else. he hated wellness because of the texture. well, we went through two huge cases of neura lamb and by the end, he stopped eating it. so, i decided that I was just going to try once more to feed him the wellness (we had two cases left over), and i mixed it in with dry chicken soup for the pupply lovers soul (sample pack I picked up for $1.99!) and he finished all his food! he used to never eat wellness. archie eats when he's really hungry, too. yorkies are picky eaters. he'll be playing and happen to pass by the food bowl, take one quick bite and go on because he's actually on a mission to catch his ball or something. What I learned...they do need variety, but it's better to be consistent with one food for about 2 cases, then switch to another food and go through another two cases, but not to switch foods everynight or you'll end up with a picky yorkie like mine who is a food snob. |
Great link GracieGirl. Thanks! |
Yeah, great link. For me, this really reinforces that I'm doing the right thing. Thanks again! |

why dont someone just make a perfect puppy food so we dont have to stress over what to feed our puppies?!?! |
I had my dog on Wellness, but he didn't like it. I think the shape bothered him. I switched him to Azmira and he loves it!! Licks the bowl clean! Here's the website, not widely available, but I think they'll ship: www.azmira.com -amy |

I forgot to metion that my sister has her dog on Azmira. She is allergic to EVERYTHING!! Corn, turkey, veal, you name it. She did great on azmira. |
Anyone ever heard of Hund-N-Flocken? http://www.solidgoldhealth.com/produ...?id=2&code=110 |

How does Hershey like it? I've heard and read very good things but it's so hard to confidently choose the right food... |
when ffirst started mixiing it with his old food, he LOVED IT and he would pick it out from his old food. but after awhile he got sick of it.. so he woudn't eat it unless he was really hungry. i didn't giev up of course. but it seems to be fine now. he eats normallly and i guess he knows that im not gonna change foods around anymore haha |
Thanks, Hershey is an absolute cutie! |
How about Flint River , Royal canin or Natural Balance? Anyone try these with their Babies? I think we should have a poll on best/tasty/healthy food for Yorkies |
I've been trying to find more information on Flint River but with no luck. Brady is eating Royal Canine right now but there is some paw chewing going on as well as some itchy skin, I think she might be sensitive to the wheat flour in it. I'm going to put her on Solid Gold and see how she does. |
Natural Balance is my recommendation if you are shopping at a Petco to me it seems to be the best quality they carry in my area. Royal Canin is what I feed Gracie(Puppy 33) and she has had some itching and ear infections that seem to be caused by something in Royal Canin. I recently ordered Innova EVO which is a very good food but is high in calories so she will have to be schedule fed. One more thing about Natural Balance..the Allergy Formula Potato and Duck Gracie hated and it was also a bigger kibble. Flint River I did some reading on and seems to be a good food but not familiar with it any other way. |
Bradys Mom., here is the link for Flint River.. Good luck! |
I would love to see a poll on best foods for our puppies and adults..anyone else like to get this going? I do not know about small size good kibble.. not sure how big Flint River is.. but it keeps coming up as #1 in the polls I have read on the web.. http://www.canine-epilepsy.com/toptenfoods.html |
I am definitely interested in knowing what other Yorkie parents are feeding their little ones. The wheat flour in Flint River throws me off as I think my gal may be sensitive to the stuff... I'll let you guys know how the Solid Gold Hundchen Flocken goes.... I actually purchased the whole dogs article that was supposed to list the top ten for this year but instead just listed all approved dog brands. Almost all the foods mentioned here are on the list. |
I was thinking of switching to either Royal Canin or Natural balance since you can get it at local petco. Is Natural balance holistic? Is it in small pieces or large? Is it okay for puppies or is it for older dogs? |
