What dog food brand do you recommend for a female puppy and then adult yorkie?
I would like to get some suggestions for the brand of food to feed my yorkie puppy now and later….
My dogs eat Chicken soup for the dog lovers soul. Other good brands are Taste of the Wild (I tried this first, but my dogs weren't raving fans), Blue Buffalo, Orijen, Solid Gold, Natural Balance, and a good amount of the holistic brands sold in Petco.
They sell in smaller bags, so you can try out one brand and if your dog doesn't do well, you can switch over to something else that may agree with her system better.
With a small dog, you can buy a large bag of dog food at a good price and have it last a good while. www.dogfoodanalysis.com is a great way to look up brands of dog foods and how they break down as far as ingredients go, and then decide what's best for you.
If you can buy it at Wal-Mart, don't. Don't shop by price, I used to feed Purina Puppy Chow which called for Josie to have 6 cups a day. On Chicken Soup, she only needs 3 cups. So while I was paying almost twice as much for better food, it lasted over twice as long, and was much, much better for her (less pooping, shiny coat, lots of energy).
And you could always consider a raw diet.
