Nutro brand food question - YorkieTalk.com Forums

adorame · 07-03-2007, 11:58 AM

I was just wondering if this is a good food for when I get Jeter. I was at our central feed and seed store and a rep from the company was their. I was just checking out prices and looking for a crate. She gave me information on it and I was wondering if any one here uses it and wich product do they like. Ultra seems to have good ingredience. I do not get Jeter till November/ December so I am checking out the different foods.

Thanks for the information! Have you tried Canidea? A lot of people seem to recommend this one. I Think that this is what the breeder use so I will get a bag when I get Jeter. I want to get a food that is good for him and with the recall of all that food I was worried on what is safe for them to have!

Yes I feed my 4 Yorkies Canidae Lamb & Rice All Life Stages.
Excellent Top Quality Food!!!!
No Recalls on Canidae!!!

I will second that vote for Canidae. My guys have been on it since shortly after all the recalls and no problems, their coats are much healthier looking and their eyes just sparkle

(well, maybe that one isn't due to the food, it could be all that Yorkie happiness

They eat the Canidae all life stages regular formula, and my senior Bichon is on the senior version.

Mine all eat the Lamb & Rice formula because the Vet thought Scruffy might have Pancreatitis a few months ago - It has lower Fat & Protein levels.
I'm kinda reluctant to change to the regular formula - because Scruffy has been doing so well lately on Canidae Lamb & Rice.

I have fed nothing but Nutro since it made such a difference in my baby Chester's skin. I've had no problems with it.

I just recently switched to Canidae Original Formula (Wasn't sure the difference b/w Chicken & Rice and Lamb & Rice) So, I got the original favor. And guess what? Chloe LOVES it!!! She actually picked out the old food and just ate the new one!! I don't even need to slowly switch out her food. It was so cute!! I would recommend anyone who has a dog to feed their babies Canidae!!!

I feed Nutro mini and sometimes the lamb and rice. I've tried just about every premium dog food brand out there and he snubbed his nose at ALL of them. Talk about a picky eater!

TinyBit · 07-06-2007, 06:24 AM

I feed the Nutro Puppy Chicken, Rice and Oatmeal. I love the results. I have three dogs eating it and two are now adults. (they are not yorkies) My rat terrier sheds like crazy if he does get Nutro food.

I bought the Nutro lambrice for years.. then with the food scare.. with Nutro being on the list with the wet..it made me mad..so I switched to Nature's Variety. But I really had no problems ever with the Nutro..it was more abt the principal that I switched
