What Dry Foods Do You Reccommend? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My local pet store lets me return any food I buy that my two won't eat. They don't lose $$ because they just return it to the manuf. and get credit. You should ask your store if they do that. It's a win-win situation. You get to try the foods and they don't lose money or a customer. A lot of the time they have samples also.

I noticed under the dog food analysis website that Blue Dog Food is listed as a 4 star premium dog food. Petsmart sells this brand...has anyone tried it?

I just switched to Orijen from Canidae - I think both of these foods are top notch.

The Royal Canine made my yorkies have dry skin. We feed them Natural Balance hard food from Petco, the one in the blue bag. You can buy it now in sample bags. We feed them the wet food from can that we get from our Vet's office too, Dietary formula with real chicken and rice.

yes DO NOT feed this... their wet food was part of the recall and Layla got VERY sick while she was eating the dry food... months at the vet .... they have been admid alot of controvery for various ingredients that go into their food that are bad for dogs. steer clear!

Eukanuba dry food for small breeds and I mix it with Cesar's wet food (Daisy ONLY likes the turkey flavor)

Its been working fine and I havent seen it on any recall list..

I feed mine Natural Balance Potato and Duck formula. Sometimes he will be picky and not seem interested in the food and I have to mix some of the wet food in with it. I have recently got a sample of Life's Abundance and he seemed to really like it so I might swap to that. Not sure yet. But I have heard those are both really good dog foods and Reeses really seems to like them.

I would like to try this food out and see how my Ginger likes it. I understand you can't get it at any major pet store, so where do you buy it?

Thanks!

Natural Balance Ultra Premium...

Bnot · 07-19-2007, 08:29 AM

I am about to change both my dogs food, due to Venus still licking her front paws a lot when she goes to bed, and read in another post that you can call the manufacturer, and get samples.

Just got my samples of Canidae and Natural Balance in the mail! And Natural Balance sent me 4 samples to try them on.

But really think I'll try them on the Canidae first. Now finding that in my city will be the fun part, lol.

Kobe lickes his paws all the time too. What is that due to?

Is it alright to mix? I mix Royal Canin and Natural Balance 1/2 and 1/2. I hope not because Seth and Sasha eat well

Royal Canin gave them the runs so that is why I started to mix.
