| I know Royal Canin has corn in it, but my Schatzi loves it, and I did the food grade thing, and it gets a 96% an "A"! This grade is for the mini puppy 33 formula... I've been watching her for itching, becasue I heard corn can casue yorkies to itch, but so far she is doing great! And you also need to make sure you get a food that isn't TOO high in protein, it's bad for yorkies...

| those companies pay the vets to sell their product in the vets office. it helps the vet money wise when they sell the products to the customer thus helping the food company........ |

| This article will explain why vets recommend Science Diet: http://www.simplyschnauzer.net/hills.html I haven't seen Chicken Soup mentioned on this thread yet, so I will recommend Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lovers' Soul! It received 5 stars on this list: http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_f...p/cat/3/page/2 It is an EXCELLENT food...the first two ingredients are Chicken and Turkey, it is all natural, there's no corn in it, and my two LOVE it and they are VERY VERY picky. I did lots of research and tried many many foods (ProPlan, Merricks, Innova, Royal Canine, Candidae, etc.) before I found Chicken Soup. The bites are also tiny (same size as the Science Diet Puppy kibbles) which makes it easy for our little yorkies to eat! Here are the ingredients and the guaranteed analysis of the food. The protein amount is right on the money....28%. Ingredient list: Chicken, turkey, chicken meal, turkey meal, whole grain brown rice, whole grain white rice, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), oatmeal, potatoes, cracked pearled barley, millet, duck, salmon, egg product, flaxseed, natural chicken flavor, kelp, carrots, peas, apples, dried skim milk, cranberry powder, rosemary extract, parsley flake, potassium chloride, salt, choline chloride, dried chicory root, vitamin E supplement, iron proteinate, zinc proteinate, copper proteinate, ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, potassium iodide, thiamine mononitrate, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, ascorbic acid, vitamin A supplement, biotin, calcium pantothenate, manganese sulfate, sodium selenite, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), vitamin B12 supplement, menadione sodium bisulfite (source of vitamin K activity), riboflavin, vitamin D supplement, folic acid. Guaranteed Analysis Crude Protein 28% minimum Crude Fat 17% minimum Crude Fiber 3% maximum Moisture 10% maximum Sodium 0.3% maximum Vitamin E 300 IU/kg minimum Selenium 0.4 mg/kg minimum Omega-6 Fatty Acids* 3.3% minimum Omega-3 Fatty Acids* 0.5% minimum |

| I found a Science Diet dog food that has lamb and, I think, rice (no corn). Reuger just loves it. I've been mixing it with Chicken Soup Dog food. Reuger is allergic to corn and he has been on Science Diet, but he really didn't have any trouble with it. I've switched because he seems bored with his food.
