What's the best adult food? Need to switch from puppy to adult! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

bevpeter · 11-09-2006, 03:04 PM

I haven't been on here in a really long time (We got a new filter put in at work so now this site is blocked

)

Anyway my puppy is 10months old now and will soon need to start eating adult food.. i was wondering what people recommend?

I was searching Royal Canine Mini Bites for Yorkshire Terriers.

Any suggestions... right now she's on Science Diet small bites. My vet recommends Science Diet T/D Prescrition or Science Diet Oral Care.

But i wanted to hear of other peoples recommendations.

Any help would be great.

She isin't a picky eater...and will eat anything i give her.

if your pup is not over weight you can leave him on puppyfood for a bit longer. I like both of the other foods you mentioned.

Please research organic dog foods.

Try to stay away from the many fillers a lot of the popular, advertised pet food companies use.

Royal Canin has a lot of corn as filler.

I suggest you try:

Wellness Super5 Mix
Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul
Solid Gold Just a Wee Bit
Natural Balance
Timberwolf Organics
Innova and Innova Evo

Type in a search engine: Natural Organic Dog Food

They give us so much love, let's give them the best.

I am also feeding my yorkie Science Diet small bites. Isn't it supposed to be a good brand of dog food since all veterinarians recommend it?

Vets get offered a lot of incentives to push Science Diet because this company makes the most popular "special" diet food available only at the vet's office.

Learn about food, by-products, fillers, too much cheap processed grains, artificial colors and flavors, etc.

Just go to the manufacturers' sites and look at the ingredients.

You'll want natural, organic, nutrient-dense foods, human-grade.

Don't rely on PetSmart or PetCo (although, PetCo does carry Natural Balance), and especially not a grocery store or supermarket. Shop at the local pet supply store, even easier is shopping on line.
