Dog Food? Any tips? Hi, we've been feeding our Yorkie (Pebbles) Natural Balance Sweet Potato & Venison, and another flavor but can't think of it right now, but our pet store has a sign that NB is having a shortage. We found out that Pebbles became allergic to chicken so we started feeding her the Venison and now all the bumps went away. What do most of you feed your Yorkie? Pebbles is 11 and weighs about 8lbs. Thanks, PhilW |
Natural Balance is made at Diamond - who just had a lot of recalls. That may be why there is a shortage. If you are looking for simple, limited ingredient foods, look into: California Natural, Canine Caviar, Nature's Variety LID, Acana Singles, etc. :) |
I home cook for Rosie and Mikki. They love it and I can control the ingredients. |
The pet stores around here, PetCo & PetSmart, don't have those brands. Any other ideas? I guess I could just ask the store personnel. |
I use Acana apple and lamb. I also use Royal Canin yorkie for when they seem to tire of one or the other. |
What about Blue Buffalo? They have in their Basics line a salmon and potato formula and a grain-free turkey and potato formula. I didn't see any chicken products in either of those. Toki's not had either of those specifically but has done well on two other Blue buffalo formulas for puppies. BB is sold at both Petsmart and petco. |
We had to switch from Taste of the Wild because of the recall. I found Earthborn Holistics had quite similar ingredients so I wouldn't have much problem switching over 3 dogs so quickly. We do very well on the fish formulas- I feel the fish protein is a little easier to use in older dogs (a 12 yo Wheaten Terrier with lots of allergy issues..) |
Someone posted on here that Blue Buffalo can cause GI upset issues in dogs. I feel your pain about food/chain pet stores. We don't have a lot of options ( save ordering online) here either, and we aren't in BFE. |
I’m feeding Jaxx Purina Puppy Chow with a little Ceasers(puppy) mixed in! He is getting better at eating just nibbles but he does like the Ceasers alot just have to get him use to it before I do a complete change! |
we just changed to fromm.. the "pack" LOVES it!! I also homecook.. so the kibble is in the morning and the homecook is served at the evening meal..it works for us |
Thank you all for your suggestions! |
Mine eat FROMM and all love it. |
From what the people at PetSupermarket told me was that NB was sanitizing their plant(s). Yes their dry foods come from Diamond and that scares me to no end. I was feeding the gang Potatoe and Duck small kibble which was not on the recalls this time but am looking at other names. The search goes on. |
Im feeding my 12 week old baby Royal Canin #29 Yorkie Puppy. It's a great kibble and Rosy loves it! ;) |
Royal canin would be a good choice for yorkie |
