Innova Evo Red Meat Question - YorkieTalk.com Forums

lauraopi · 01-05-2009, 07:53 PM

Does anyone feed their yorkie this? I just started Reese on it about 2 weeks ago and thought she would love it...she seems to pick at it a little, but doesn't seem crazy about it..and that food is EXPENSIVE! I want to put her on raw, as I used to feed her NV frozen raw...but we are expecting our first skin baby in 4 weeks and I am nervous with the raw meat around a new baby. So I thought this would be the next best thing. Reese has terrible allergies and I was trying to also find a grain-free food. Chicken and poultry seem to really bother her, so I am limited to what I can feed her...
any suggestions?? Should I stick with the Evo??

I feed Juicy it but she also picks at it so lately ive been adding some plain chicken to it until the bag finishes since it is a little bit expensive. She seems to do great with the chicken in it. I'm going to look into switching. Now this may sound like a stupid question but Juicy is my first dog and I've herd people use the term "raw" when it comes to food. What is considered a raw diet? is it literally raw meat?

Yes, literally raw meat. I have had friends who have had wonderful experiences feeding raw and would love to stick with it, but too afraid with the baby coming right now.

Rudy has been using this for a couple of months he luvs it! He is a very picky eater and seems to like this brand and I also read on a website that dogs seem to gain weight on this food. and I want him to put on a couple of oz. since he is only 2.9 lbs and that wouldnt be bad but to me and apparently only to me and my mother he seems a little boney. My vet says he is completely healthy and not to worry. But mommas always worry dont we

I recently have switched my girls from Solid gold barking at the moon to EVO red meat, and they just love it, they are very picky eaters and I usually had to mix in canned food and battle them at meal time. now in the morning they would get up and eat the solid dry food themselves, and in the evening I would mix in a bit of EVO rabbit meat and salmon oil. they couldn't be happier!
