| Commercial food / Homemade food I really don't understand how you can feed your yorkie for hisentire life commercial dead food ? Is it like you are eating your whole life frozen dinners? |

| What do you feed your Yorkie? I feed mine a variety; homemade meals, Artemis Small Breed Adult kibble, Nature's Variety Frozen Raw Chicken Medallions...... |

| I feed my Yorkie a dry food (Chicken Soup) which I find to be good quality dry food. I also feed him eggs, plain yogurt, cottage cheese, fruit, chicken, pork, etc. I don't have time to cook for myself, let alone my dog, so I feel that he's lucky that he gets a variety. He eats better than I do at most times.

| We homecook for Punkin - at the recommendation of our vet. She LOVES it! We give her a real mixture of things. Each meal though is 1/3 protein, 1/3 carbs, 1/3 fruits/veggies. Her fav things are oatmeal, ground lamb, sweet potatoes, carrots and red peppers. We are just starting to introduce milk products. 1/4 teaspoon of cottage cheese twice day for a few days and then we will increase it slowly. |

| Honey, let me tell you something....I don't cook for myself, so I'm sorry, I'm not cooking for Baby. BUT...I do feed her a great food (Merrick's) that she absolutely loves. And I feed myself McDonald's. So I guess you can say that I treat my dog better than I treat myself. PS. Until I move into my new house...then I'm going to eat better. I'm just so stressed right now....but, that's another post!

| the commerical dog food i feed my puppy is premium quality, lots of nutrients, healthy for growth as well as his teeth, and he loves it. i'm sure it's a lot healthier for him than a meal i cook for him since i know nothing about cooking meal of balanced nutrition for a dog. if frozen dinners are as healthy for me as the dog food i get from bunjee are for him. i'd probably opt for frozen dinners most of the time too. |

| My dogs eat both. They eat dog food in the morning (and dry food is left out during the day - which they don't like very much). They get most of their people food in the evening - my leftovers, that are good for them, and other foods. A lot of the foods we eat are very good for our pets....not everything, of course. I try and give my pets only healthy food. Carol Jean |

| I feed my Tiger Innova but add some cottage cheese or mangoes to his meal. I have also branched out to adding fresh boiled asparagus. He has gotten very picky and now won't eat plain Innova kibble. I don't really mind I love to indluge. How does everyone deal with their yorkies home cooked food though when they travel and could not take their babies with them? That is a huge problem for me as I plan to board them at my vet's when I go on a 2 week vacation this september. Unfortunately, I cannot bring him along . . . |
