What do you feed your yorkie, or small breed dog??

[Emmsmom]

I wouldn't feed IAMS only because I hate what they do to the dogs just to test the food. I was shocked by their practices.

Diesel also likes Newman's Own soft food. Plus Paul Newman donates the money to shelters or either rescue groups. I can't remember which one. ALSO... He doesn't get the runs from it either. All of the other soft foods that I tried really did a number on him...

I can't believe I'm answering a Yorkie question....I usually don't make it over here.

I feed the biewer puppies California Natural Lamb and Rice; I feed the older dogs the low-fat variety.

Lots of new puppy pictures to view.

I feed Reuger Science Diet that's for Sensitive Skin. He has allergies to food or grass or something. He'll get to where he'll just bite and bite at his legs. He does really well on this and his coat is nice and shiny. I know that when there was a lot of talk about the dog food additives I checked a site out and Science Diet wasn't on the list. I was pretty happy about that.

I feed my labs Canidae All Life Stages and the yorkies eat Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream (made by Diamond) or Natural Balance Duck & Potato. I have done TONS and TONS of research on dog foods because one of my yorkies has skin allergies and I had to witness a dear friend's dog be put to sleep at a very young age because of severe (food-induced) skin allergies. I never want one of my dogs to go through what his dog went through. I think these 2 foods are the best on the market with all-natural ingredients, no by-products or artificial preservatives or chemicals. All 4 of my dogs would eat Canidae if one of my yorkies wasn't allergic to chicken. ALL of Canidae's products are made here in the US and all of their ingredients are from the US.

Marty and Madeline eat Candidae ALS. I meant to get them the Lamb & Rice, but accidentally ended up with ALS and they love it so I'm not sure which I'll get when they run out. Marty had Nutro Small Bites his whole life (except when he was a puppy and had Nutro Puppy). I only switched a few months ago. I tried to wean them off the Nutro by mixing the two, but both of them picked out the Nutro and put it on the floor beside their food dish so they could eat the Candidae. It was pretty obvious which one they liked better! LOL

I like Merrick dog food and treats, my guys seem to like it.. and it's made in the good old USA, no China crap in there. Marylin, i believe it's made in Texas?

Thank you all for your input!!!! Rebecca, it's nice to see you here. We've been missing you big time. Haley, I tried Merrick. It is made in Texas, but mine wouldn't eat it.

I meant to buy some of the suggestions on here yesterday to try, but was unable to do so, but hopefully tonight I can. I'm anxious to get them transitioned to something more healthy.

The seem very healthy now, lots of energy and all, but I'm concerned about long term issues without a more balanced diet.

1.So far I've kept Harley on Eukanuba since the breeder had him on it and he hasn't had a problem yet.

2. I must agree- I prefer the feedback here than on YT! Maybe if we hint enough we might get a seperate thread going!
