| <My babies eat Natural Balance My babies eat a combination of Natural Balance Organic Formula and Duck & Potato. I mixed them in a big container with a 1:1 ratio. And when I feed them I mixed in half a teaspoon on warmed up Natural Balance Wet food. They Liked it and they haven't had any skin or poopy problems with them. So far Natural Balance makes all of us happy. |

| Mya eats Royal Canin 33. She still likes her food soaked in hot water and left to go warm. We ran out of food for and I gave her pedigree meal time, what my Pom used to like. Soak in hot water and left to cool and she ate it too. So in an emergency I learned as long as it is prepared the way she likes she will eat it. But we still keep her on the Royal Canin.

| I can not get Natural Balance at Petsmart and I don't have a Petco so I have to drive 1/2 an hour away at a pet food supply store. I actually just went yesterday. I had to find something for my chihuahua that has an irritable bowel, she was originally on Science Diet prescription(not a good food) by the vet. I wanted something better but easy on her tummy. I researched for a week on all the different brands and found this to be the best for us since it is for all life stages I can feed it to all 3 of mine who are all different ages. Luckily they all like it. I do give the chichuahua the canned potato duck mixed with her kibble, she is the only one that gets the soft(I am trying to break her of the soft) because she was on canned food years ago when I got her and that is all she would eat. I had to gradually get her to eat kibble too. My yorkie puppy(5 1/2 months) Lily is very tiny and has a tiny mouth, when I got her the breeder was grinding her food in a coffe grinder, it looked like powder. She did this because she thought her mouth was too small for kibble. Well I grinded her food about a week and thought I better introduce kibble or she would never get use to it. She loves the Natural Balance kibble. You would think by looking at her she could never fit it in her mouth and crunch it, but she does and I think she likes it because she loves the crunching. Natural Balance also has great treats and my dogs love all of them, especially the lamb rounds. If you can't find Nat.B. in your area you could always order online. I highly recommend it.

| I feed Bailey, Royal Canin Yorkshire Formula, I tried a few others that her breeder had mixed for her dogs but this one works the best for her. I kept her on the Royal Canin puppy formula until she was a year old per my veterinarians instructions. She has a sensitive tummy and will throw up if she eats something besides her kibble. I give her Nature's Recipe Training treats I get at PetSmart but only a few a day. (She is litterboxed trained and goes to get me to show me she needs a treat....) |

| My yorkie has been on natural balance since the day I got her. She absolutely loves it. She's never been on wet food since she's been with me. I think it's one of few nutrious brands of dog food that actually tastes good. My cousin's poodle whe never liked to eat dog food is now eating natural balance. I have a tiny yorkie and she's never had any problems chewing her kibble, losing baby teeth and all.

| Iwas told that merrick dry and canned & natures variety raw is the best-VERY HEALTHY Hi Everyone, My Vet Told Me If I Want A Healthy Yorkie That Will Virtually Have No Health Issues, To Feed Him Natures Variety Prairie Raw Medallions Food. It Is Frozen, So You Defrost A Couple Of Pieces At A Time For Your Yorkie. I Also Am Feeding Him Merrick Dry Food With A Little Of The Merrick Canned Food , Mixed With The Raw Food. Oh, And The Evt Told Me That He Will Have Small Poops And They Will Be Condensed. And He Was Right. The Cheaper The Food The More Your Dog Will Poop And It Will Be On The Soft Side Sometimes. Thanks Elle57 |

| elle57....please be careful feeding kibble along with a raw diet. They should never be fed at the same time and if I remember correctly never within a few hours of each other. |

| I have tried a lot of different foods for Gucci. She ate Natural Balance for a while but then she just wouldnt eat it anymore. We also try Merrick but she didnt eat it either. She has being eating Canidae for the last year and she hasnt have any problems with it. Canidae is a healthy and all stage food. The kibble is small so is easy to chew. |

| Dog food samples If you are looking to try out a new dog food go online and ask for a sample. I did this with a few different companies and they all sent samples. I now have a basket of sample packages, I went with california natural. I use the other samples as treats. |

Natural Balance Organic, which Buddy has been on for almost one year, does have small kibble. It was given 5 stars on that review sometime ago. I add fresh chicken breast to it. Never one kibble left in the bowl. The review said they would like to see alittle more protein in it so with the added chicken that makes up the needed protein. Hope this helps. Carol & Buddy | |

| I used to feed Daisy the Nutro Lamb and Rice and Daisy liked it, I switched to Merricks because that is the favorite food going around here, but I needed a bag so I went and got Royal Canine Yorkie formula and Daisy LOVES it. We're actually going to the vet tomorrow for her one year check up and shots, and I'm going to ask which one do they think is better. They are pretty honest and my parents have used them for years, so I will post their response tomorrow.
