I have 2 yorkies, one very picky eater and one that will eat most anything. I finally gave up and started feeding them some wet food everyday, otherwise the picky eater may not eat anything at all.

They each get 1/2 can of Merrick wet. Their favorite is the wing-a-ling and the other is (I can't remember the name?!?!), but it has whole chicken thighs in the can and wing-a-ling has whole chicken wings. The thighs and wings are pressure cooked so the bones just fall apart. My boys LOVE LOVE LOVE these two brands. They both GOBBLE them down. I feed them the wet food first thing in the morning and then I keep Solid Gold Wee Bits out to free feed the rest of the day. That way if they eat any dry food, it helps to clean their teeth the rest of the day.

My picky eater WILL NOT eat any dry food with large kibbles, so the Wee Bits have worked well for us. Some days neither of them eat any dry food, other days they eat quite a lot of dry food.

Before I found Merricks wet, I had to hand feed the picky eater anything I could get him to eat.
