| Picked up a couple samples of Fromm 4 Star grain free from Heads To Tails Grooming Shop in Kirkland, WA yesterday. Gucci didn't seem thrilled but that was after his mamma fed him his simmered and chopped chicken. We'll see what today brings! That pretty much does it for Royal Canin in this thread. Even though I was excited to see a yorkie specific feed, my excitement was tempered by the ingredient list. Time to move along, open another thread! |

| I recently decided that my babies were in need of a higher quality diet so I began researching different foods. A friend who owns one of my stud's offspring informed me that her vet highly recommends Royal Canin for Yorkies. But when I saw the ingredients I wasn't sure if I wanted to use it. I then went to my local Petsmart and saw Iams Pro Health which lists chicken as its 1st ingredient. Is the chicken something that I should be thrilled with or are there other major necessary ingredients that I should focus my attention on? This dog food issue has become so complex. We really just want the most healthy food for our babies. |

In the interim, we'll pick up another bag of his previous food, Senior Toy Breed Natural Dog Food : NUTRO® NATURAL CHOICE® Dog Foods - The Nutro Company , and look at some supplements to put on his boiled/chopped chicken. | |

| Yes, we've mixed them in the past, works well! In this case though, we're trying to find a stand alone kibble to switch to. |

| Going thru the same thing I've been studying for quite a while ....just when I thought I found quality ingredients in Evangers premium duck and sweet potatoe ...I failed to find the information in time of their reputation status not being a trustworthy manufacturer....( search evangers here). I have worked in the food industry for 30 years and I know just how that goes...it's a game of cover your behind or else! And people get fired over things that leak out. So when it gets this far where the FDA is involved, Has to be a lot worse goin on in the inside. my husband adds..but if they want to stay in business they will fix it and have a better product). He worked with me .. She loves the product , I now have her fully converted , and it recently added chelated minerals...it's grain free since that is always an issue....but I am still looking ... at Natures Variety Instinct, canned, and kibble. Now I'm not too sure of the percentages for a yorkie but others seem to like it..... Wellness Core I'm looking at too....Yes they have had some recalls but limited, and who hasn't....Zoeys not too fond of Fromm, she was on that when she fell ill so I'm hesitant on going back ... Good luck ya all |

| I like the ingredients and analysis of the Wellness Toy Breed Complete Health Senior Deboned Chicken & Oatmeal Recipe It's got the joint stuff and the stomach stuff. The portion size is smaller than some, 1/2 cup for a 5 pound old pup. Looks like it's available at Petco. Might be Gucci likes more of a bland chicken type diet since he wasn't fond of the Orijen and Fromm. OUR INGREDIENTS: Deboned Chicken, Chicken Meal, Turkey Meal, Oatmeal, Ground Brown Rice, Ground Barley, Ground Rice, Peas, Chicken Fat (preserved with Mixed Tocopherols), Tomato Pomace, Ground Flaxseed, Natural Chicken Flavor, Salmon Oil, Calcium Carbonate, Potassium Chloride, Tomatoes, Carrots, Spinach, Choline Chloride, Vitamins [Vitamin E Supplement, Beta-Carotene, Niacin, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin A Supplement, Riboflavin, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Thiamine Mononitrate, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Biotin, Folic Acid], Minerals [Zinc Proteinate, Zinc Sulfate, Iron Proteinate, Ferrous Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Copper Proteinate, Manganese Proteinate, Manganese Sulfate, Sodium Selenite, Calcium Iodate], Apples, Sweet Potatoes, Blueberries, Mixed Tocopherols added to preserve freshness, Taurine, L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate, Glucosamine Hydrochloride, Chondroitin Sulfate, Chicory Root Extract, Yucca Schidigera Extract, Dried Lactobacillus plantarum Fermentation Product, Dried Enterococcus faecium Fermentation Product, Dried Lactobacillus casei Fermentation Product, Dried Lactobacillus acidophilus Fermentation Product, Rosemary Extract, Green Tea Extract. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Mark - it may be tougher to find, but have you tried Nature's Logic yet? It's a bit of a different food, but very impressive. Maybe they can send you samples...? Contact Us - Nature's Logic

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | When I read these food threads, and all the fussy Yorkie eaters, I thank my lucky stars that all my dogs have been great eaters. They eat what I give them, but mainly we do homefed and also pre-made raw. I like to add my own joint supplements into the food as each dog gets a different amount. I do add a bit of kibble as we travel cross border and it is not allowed to bring in raw to the States. I am waiting on a order of ducks feet - this is for my senior boy who has arthritis to see how well that works for him. I hope everyone finds the food that works for their YOrkies.
