what is best kind of dog food for my Yorkie terrier?

Answer 1

Natural Balance, Canidae, Wellness, Innova.

Avoid foods with corn, wheat, soy, and by-products.

I feed mine Natural Balance. Less eating (they get more out of it then they would a food that's all fillers...corn, wheat, etc.) less poop.

Answer 2

Nothing you find at a grocery store is going to be a good food. High quality foods can be found at large pet store chains, or online. A couple of foods I like are Nutro Natural, Innova, Innova Evo and Cannidae.

There are other high quality dog foods. Here's how to spot them:

A high quality food will have little or no fillers such as corn, wheat or soy. These aren't very digestable for dogs, and are common food related allergens. Since you were seeing corn meal in the first few ingredients, those are not high quality foods. Foods list ingredients by content, with the ingredient it contains most of at the top.

A high quality food will not contain BHT, BHA or Ethoxyquin, these are all chemical preservatives that have been linked to cancer.

A high quality food will not contain by-products of any kind. Meat meals are ok as long as the source of the meat is listed, such as Chicken Meal.

A high quality diet should have meat as at least the first ingredient., and be made from human grade ingredients. Foods that don't use human grade ingredients often get their ingredients from less than desirable sources, such as meat from animals that were diseased, or euthanized.

There is another diet option other than dog food. Some people choose to feed a raw diet. This involves feeding the dog raw meaty bones and organ meat. However it is not as simple as throwing a couple chicken bones in a bowl everyday. If you wish to feed this type of diet, do lots and lots of research first. Switching to this diet without knowing what your doing can lead to nutritional problems for your dog. I'll give you some links as a starting point in research if you are interested in this type of diet.

Toy breeds have just as special needs and a large breed, and I always try to meet those needs by size and activity level. It can only help your pet. For your breed, I would reccomend Chicken Soup for the dog lover's soul brand food. It has lots of great nutrition for a good price. Since you have a toy breed , you would need the small breed formula. Our dogs have always done very well with these foods. The size and texture is geared to toy breeds.

I have 4 Yorkie's and I feed them dog food for inside pets. I sometimes change it up. But PLEASE do not feed your yorkie human food. I have had a very bad expereince with one of mine and not only was it very emotional is was expensive. So just keep to dog food and water.

Answer 5

kettle korn, coke, and pizza... Mmm, pizza!

Who could say not to that? That's the best kind of food for everyone.
