In the 5.5 years I have been blessed with the company of my little man I have tried lots of foods and the only one he seems to like is the Royal Canin Yorkshire, the kibbles seem to be just the right size for him. I was beginning to get frustrated with trying new foods to only have him turn his nose up and walk away. Believe it or not he would go a day or two of not eating if what I put down was not to his taste!!! I give him a small handful in the morning then another small handful in the evening. Just a funny little story...I have noticed over the last couple of months that sometimes he will let his food sit, but as soon as Mommy starts to cook in the kitchen or starts to eat her self he will run over and gobble up his food :rolleyes: |
My puppy eats Royal Canin Puppy 33. Out of the three types of kibble I have tried so far (Natural Choice small bites puppy, Eukanuba small breed puppy and Royal Canin Puppy 33) it is the ONLY one she will eat. The catch is... she will ONLY eat this kibble when I roll the pieces to her. She thinks it's a game and she will play with them and eat them one at a time. Even then she won't eat much... and she won't even touch it if I mix it with cottage cheese or Ceasar moist. The only thing I can get her to consistantly eat is that baby food/baby cereal/half and half/karo formula, but I don't want to give it to her every day because I'm not sure how good it is for her. Is 10 weeks too young to try the RAW food? |

I don't know about the raw food thing, but I think I would be encouraging the RC 33 by leaving it out for her all day (which you probably already do)...she's tiny so she's not going to eat that much..and she'll eat it on her own eventually. Also, since she is only 10 weeks, I would continue the baby food recipe for at least another 2 weeks, but in decreasing amounts. You want her to start being hungry for the kibble. If you are going to be home, say on a weekend after she turns 12 weeks, try going without the baby food (so you can watch for any hypoglycemia signs), and hopefully she will get hungry enough to eat the RC 33. I know how it is...Pippa was (and is) such a picky eater..that's why I was shocked when she gobbled (and she hasn't ever "gobbled" anything) the Solid Gold Just a Wee Bits! I got it at "DogWatch" on Crossover...they had all kinds of cool stuff there! |

We have had Murfee on Science since we got him at 6 weeks old...3 years ago. The vet recommended it. Is Science Diet bad??? |
I just think that there are 'better' brands besides science diet. I prefer to buy food that contains no corn, no grains, no animal by-products what so ever. I have TJ and Roxy on Nature's Variety Raw Frozen food - which they love, but I do know it is not for everyone (meaning a lot of Mommies and Daddies are probably not comfortable feed raw). But I also give them kibble (just a little). I switch everytime there is need for a new bag. Right now we are on Wellness Super 5 Mix. They seem to like this one. Others have been: Merrick, Buffalo Blue, Natural Balance |
Where do I go to buy the better brands? |
Youve got to get the better brands at specialty petstores, feed stores, or order online from their websites. Petsmart and Petco dont carry them although someone told me their Petsmart carries Nutro. |
OK, this will sound really dumb..I know what a feed store is but what is a petspecialty store???? |
Ours is Pets Supply Plus. It is like a Petsmart or Petco but they offer better brands like Chicken Soup for the dog lovers soul. |
What would I look under in the yellow pages? Is it like a privately owned pet store? instead of a chain. |
Yes it is privately owned. Check feed stores too though thats where I found two brands that I was looking for. Another thing you can do is go on the brands website and put your zipcode into their store locator and they will tell you if its sold near you and where. |
