I do think like people, some dogs will just have a certain build. My girl is definitely slender but eats all of her food daily. My vet said it is not a concern. My boy is a completely different build, but still a puppy. He eats the right amount of food daily but is from a different breeder and just very different body type. When you say your dog is thin, is your vet concerned?

I think stella and chewy's and several other brands that offer raw food have meal mixers that you can mix with kibble. I have never met a yorkie that didn't like that brand! Wet is more economical I believe.

This is the one I use :)
ACANA – ADULT SMALL BREED 5LBS (2.27KG) | Petitudo Pet Store

It's a little pricey, but I've found it last for months because you need so little. Lu has never had any issues with this brand :) We also swapped my sister's Shiba Inu only Acana a couple of months ago and the only issue we had was he gained a little weight because we got the measurements wrong :D

(Edit: Just a heads up, I go to a pet store here in Ireland for the food. I've never used the website I linked so no idea if they're good or not. I just wanted to share the food :) )

I already heard about that kind foods you mention and i'm not try it before, because before i've already use all kinds of dog foods product but can't find what's the best for my baby and i find out that they had allergic reaction and skin infection and that's the reason why I change my brand, now i find out eukanuba and that's great so far I have no any issue with it, for me this is the best dog food for all my pup.

And this is why I'm not sure if Royal canin would stick, I tried it with Mia when she was a puppy and it did not stick , the one time she had. Her stool smelled horrible. I dont know if Max is going to eat that. Mia is doing great on the Turkey formula from Merrick. She sometimes gets wet mixed in as a treat, but she deff eat her food.

I agree wet is more economical. I really dont mind buying the mixers from stella since my max loves it, however, i still need a kibble he will be interested in.



That is deff pricey, usually an Acana bag of 5lbs in NYC is about $18-22, a $40 bag is like the price of 12lb. Thank you so much for looking, I'm going to send them an email to verify if they deliver to any local pet store that specific formula.



You know, when max was given to me the breeders had him of Eukanuba mixed with something called mighty. This was horrible. I had heard Eukanuba was a bad food so I switched him right away. I had him on Canidae and he did wonderful with the puppy formula. He would eat what he was suppose to and more. Unfortunately, he developed some kind of allergic reaction to the food (i was new then so i didnt call canidae to find out if they changed the formula), he would scratch so much he would start bleeding. I had to put a E-collar on him for some time. I never gave Eukanuba time since I had heard so much.

Funny is my brother's girlfriend's dog is on Eukanuba and she is 10 years old and has never had a problem with that food.

I'm just iffy about trying it.

HI!

I have a 5-month old yorkie baby named Raven, she's been with us for 2 months now and we love her to bits. I just want to spoil her lol!

She was fed beef pro puppy by her breeder, and we shifted her gradually to Holistic dry food. She used to gobble up the stuff, but lately she became a picky eater. There were times she had much appetite but was still active, frisky and energetic. We tried incorporating a little wet food into her meals and she loved it. However we noticed that she tires of the same type of wet food if given repeatedly.

She loves Natural Balance, but wouldn't eat the Trufood brand. She also loved Cesar but I removed that from her diet when I read her that the brand is not the ideal one.

Any suggestions on other brands of wet food that I can alternate with Natural Balance to mix with her dry food? Thanks!

As I've said, I think the best wet foods are Party Animal, Weruva, Zignature, I And Love And You, and Nulo.
My favorite of everything is Stella & chewy's freeze dried raw or their or Primal raw.

yesterday i went out of my to a store to get primal, i wanted to give a try with max. Unfortunately they only had the big bag of freeze dried, the good thing is they had single samples soo i took handfulls lol im giving it a try once i get back to the city.


I've only tried the cesar is wet, petite wellness, sometimes i use to just a little babies food to mia meal to keep interested. (make sure the baby food had no bad ingredient like garlic), also natures recipe wet. My dog never liked the canned of wet food .

Sorry, I didn't see this until now :) I try to make sure I am not a hypochondriac about my dog or anything, I have read a lot and sometimes we webMd ourselves to ulcers! :rolleyes:

Although I mentioned at every health check up Lilahs entire life I felt she was too thin my vet always said, Alyssa- dogs are not goats they have different markers for their quality score on weight and Lilah is tiny but she is fine. Until our last visit where the vet did say, well yes, she is a bit too thin. I know all of our bodies are different and she runs on the petite side of things but especially cause she is such a picky princess and runs a bit thin I want to keep my eye out and be proactive to ensure we don't develop a problem. I am actually chatting about supplements In another thread too, just want to make sure I am covering my little ladies bases :hearts6:

I get it...my girl is thin but not too thin...I wet her acana free range poultry and she just loves, but if she wasn't eating it, what a worry!

She has her moments, she does seem pretty happy with her NB lately but I need to keep it fresh by rotating things- she hasn't been into her probiotic chew lately, her favorite 'treat' right now is her dental chews and some days she loves her fish oil joint supplement other days she will walk away (and we are talking wet food!) cooked veggies in it seems to inspire her though ;) thanks :)

I know- so hard not to worry about these little darlings ! I get it...

We feed Stella and Chewy's freeze dried chicken. He loves it! I don't have to beg him to get him to eat like I had to do with kibble. :rolleyes: Now he's eager to eat his chicken patties every single day!

I feed raw by either Primal or Natures Variety.
