| I alternate between Merricks Dry food and Canidae All Life Stages. Both very good quality foods. I get them at a privately owned pet store.

This pup is too smart! He also gets boiled chix, raw veggies and whole wheat pasta and rices with flax seed cooked in organic low sodium chix broth. He is spoiled. | |

| The only food my dogs will touch (assuming they eat at all) is Royal Canin brand. And the one for "picky mini dogs" with the picture of a white westie on the bag. My Shih Tzu will only eat this, when she eats. We tried the Royal Canin Shih Tzu food and she turned up her nose at it. My Yorkie/Bichon puppy (8 months old) wouldn't eat ANY puppy food under the sun. And I tried most of em. She does like to eat the Royal Canin for picky mini dogs though. I feel badly since she is a puppy, she should eat PUPPY food. So I mix in a little bit of Cesar moist puppy food to entice her to eat. Perhaps I'll go to the Royal Canin website and request a sample of the Yorkie food to see if she'll eat that. They WILL send samples if you request it. Their website is http://www.royalcanin.us/ Both my dog and my puppy DO appreciate stealing a snack of the cats food though. Eukanuba dry for Adult cats. It's ridiculous. LOL! Then, the cats also really appreciate eating the Royal Canin for picky little dogs. So.......... I've given up yelling and stomping and trying to get them to go to their own bowls. Sigh. I know none of them are supposed to do this and I try my best to nip it in the bud, but it gets tiresome ya know. Thank goodness neither of them eat much. The cats (one in particular), on the other hand, is beginning to look like a German Shepherd. It's just a miracle anyone eats anything around here. LOL! If only I'd eat like my animals, I'd have no weight problems whatsoever! Last edited by MyLadies; 03-14-2007 at 05:08 PM. |

| Mine would only eat the Royan Canin Puppy 33. Which I worried about because it is PUPPY food and mine are adults. They aren't overweight so I figured it wasn't a problem. The dogs like the small bits..they won't eat anything bigger. Then someone posted a link to some ratings on dog food quality (I don't remember where) and I was shocked to learn the expensive dog food I was giving them (not that RC isn't good-it is!!) didn't even rank in the 3-6 star ratings. I noticed among the higher quality food there was a product by Solid Gold called "Just a Wee Bit" for adult small breeds and I found a distributer right here in my town!! I went down there the next day and bought it and my dogs LOVE it! It's main ingredient is Bison of all things! The bonus is it was cheaper ($8.95 for 4 pounds) than what I was paying for Royal Canin at Petsmart! I'm very pleased so far!

No Longer a Member | I've tried feeding everything. We're switching to Canidae, but Chloe is teething and having trouble with those hard kibbles. So for the time being, we're going to finish up our bag of Royal canin puppy 33. Plus, I made some homemade dog food to mix with it. |

| You ladies are such good mommies, I had no idea you could even feed them all that OTC food. I went yesterday to a new feed store and asked them for their best brand for small breeds I can't remember what it was called but he said it was better then Science Diet which my vet pushes. The new food has Lamb and rice in it and the guy said it will make Hunter's coat even softer and shinyer then it is. He also said it is all natural ingrdients so his poo will change also becasue his body will be absorbing all the nutrients so his poo will now be solid waste material. I was like OK I'll try it, I got a packaed of wet food also a chicken and rice flavor and he absolutely loved it, he also like the new dry, I mixed it with his Iams. My baby doesn't seem picky but I figured since he is about to turn 1 he needed a new dry adult fourmula that I can slowly mix over. So thank you for all the ideas, I think I will try some carrots and other things every once in a while just to give him a special treat! |
