I feed Charley & Meldoy on Burns dry food it is approved by the BUAV so is not tested on animals.
I noticed a couple of you feed Royal canin Charley was on this when I first got him but changed to Burns due to their animal testing.
Iam's is one of the worst companies for animal testing please see the link and weep

I finally found a dry food that Gucci will eat, Nutro Lamb and Rice kibbles, I tried the Innova evo she liked it for awhile but then i read the posts about the high protein level so I weaned her off. She eats the nutro daily , at night I give her some chicken mixed with rice and carrots, I alternate sometimes with a little wet food. I do give her treats twice a day or more. she is spoiled... I give her boars head honey roasted turkey as a treat on occassion she loves it. Banana and cottage cheese.. Hope this helps..

Hello. I feed my yorkie Pedigree Puppy Chow. Very very very little pet food also. I am going to look in Innova as well.

RowdysMom · 02-03-2006, 08:19 PM

Solid Gold Wee Bits and sometimes Innova (not Evo) wet. I free feed the Wee Bits and sometimes he gets toddler (human) chicken sticks about every other day.

Rowdy is VERY picky and very thin, so I have to work to get him to eat much of anything

BAXTER · 02-04-2006, 10:11 AM

I have tried Innova Evo for the last three days. He likes it but for some reason he doesn't chew it. He just swallows the kibbles. He used to chew his Eukanuba. I have felt the kibble and they are much harder than the Eukanuba so I tend to mix it some water...but no luck! My boy has a very sensitive tummy and is a picky eater...any suggestions (dry food only)?

The breeder we got 12 week old Brie from gives all her dogs, adult and puppy, Royal Canin, which comes in different varieties. She lets the puppies eat as they please and that is what we have done for Brie, who has been with us 3 days so far. Reviewing the ingredients it seems to be pretty good and we just give it to her dry. The first couple of days home she did not each much but today was a real chowhound. Royal Canin makes a variety specifically for Yorkies.

I recommend Canidae for sensitive tummies simply because it worked for Loki. His once a week diarrhea turned went away and he hasn't had any since (going on 5? months now) It might take some experiementing to find out what your little guy is allergic to. Canidae is small kibble, hard but not too hard. Loki chews it. It smells gross, like most dog foods, but maybe that's why he likes it so much?

I don't see where Royal Canin is owned by Iam's but I do see that they do food testing on 128 dogs that live in a kennel envoirnment. I am not sure there is any purpose in this but will hold off my opinion. I do totally agree with you on Iam's and will not purchase any of their products.

Bogey and Gabe get a mixture of dry Merrick's Puppy Plate, Merrick's Grammy's Pot Pie and Canidae for breakfast and lunch. The dry food is kept down and refreshed all day and evening. For dinner they get some sort of Merrick's wet food - Puppy Plate or Grammy's Pot Pie along with rice I have cooked for them. The rice is cooked in equal parts of water and fat free chicken broth. They occasionally get a couple of pieces of fat free popcorn and sometimes a few bits of American cheese. For treats they get Recipe treats broken in half.

CLEO & CEASAR · 02-04-2006, 05:15 PM

Our Cleo & Ceasar, now both 16 months old eat NATURAL BALANCE Organic Formula Kibbles mixed with a teaspoon of Natural Balance wet/canned food, their favorite is the Duck & Potato , twice a day...at 7:00 am and at 7:00 pm. And now we are giving them Grizzly Bear Salmon Oil. We've been having a probem with Cleo, our girl, she has a very cottony coat, and they are breaking everytime I would brush her even with leave-in conditioner. So somene from here suggested I try Grizzly. So hopefully this would work for her. They both love the flavor. So my husband and I are keeping our fingers crossed...

I give my Gabby:

Iam's Puppy Dry, and mix a little Iam's flavored gravy in it. She no longer wants to eat it.

So I have tried Iam's Moist Puppy Food, plain, and mixed with her food. She does a little better with that, but still acts un-appealing to her.

I give her Peas and Carrots, Pig Ears, Green Beans, a nibble of ham or chicken here and there, and Flavored Rawhide Chips as treats.

I just seen in the pet store the other day "lamb lung chips" and I about barfed! LOL Guess it's not much different giving her Pig's Ears....*L*

Would love to hear what everyone feeds your Yorkie, so that I may get some other ideas of dog food/table food to try with her. Yes, I realize that not everything you feed your doggies may work with mine, but I can try, since she tends to want to eat anything and everything! Thanks a bunch.

we just found out jack's food allergies by having him tested. he's allergic to:
chicken, duck, pork, barley, oats, soy, eggs, milk, and peas.
we feed him and he's sister lola, miniature schnauzer, natural balance venison and brown rice. they eat the dry food. i was trying to spoil them with mixing it with wet food same
kind but noticed that it was giving him gas. no wet food- no gas- and luckily no diarrhea
so far. for snacks, pro-treat beef liver cubes, pro plan adult beef biscuits, petsmart shark cartilage biscuits and a daily dose of ester c vitamin to boost their immune system. hope this helps.

I just read the link to boycotting IAMS, YUCK. I always knew that Iams food was no good for my dogs, hence, I never fed them any, THANK GOD!!! From now on, I will let all my friends and fellow pet lovers know about this awful company in hopes that they will boycott them too.

My babies in Canada eat Eukanuba and the one here with me eats Science Diet. I don't see any of you eating Science Diet? Is it because it's no good?

xtine · 02-13-2006, 01:39 AM

I would recommend for dry food or wet food to go with either Canidae or Innova.

I currently feed mine Innova EVO which are smaller bites that the regular Innova Puppy. My dogs wouldn't eat it at first, so I wet it with water and sprinkled a little bit of cheese and they took it fine.

I don't feed Iams, Eukanuba, Science Diet and all those commercial products only because well Iams/Eukanuba is definately a no-no for their cruel animal testing.. and the other products i wouldn't feed because all the fillers and junk in it.

if you want to read more on food and picking the right one for you.. visit my friends website, you can ask her any question you'd like.

I feed Merrick's puppy plate, after trying so many foods, a pickey eater, loves the dry. I find tummy sensitive to the wet. I do give a Gerber's chicken stick as a trick but just a half of one every three days. Also loves the lamb lung as a chew treat. They sound disgusting but look alright. The local shelter appreciates all the rejects.
I only give rice and boiled chicken when upset stomach.
