Picky Yorkies, what to do with open bags of food - YorkieTalk.com Forums

As we know Yorkies can be picky eaters or you get part way through a bag of kibble and it no longer is the right one.
Rather than throwing it out, you can drop it off at the SPCA or Animal Shelter. The ones here will take opened bags of food, check first to see if your local rescues and shelters will take them.

Yes, that's is what I have done in the past.
Nice post.

i bought a bag at "Pet Supermarket" (I don't know in which states they are other than here) and they told me if he doesn't like it I can return it. I think they should have the same policy at places like Petco and Petsmart, the problem is that they don't carry the better brands, but they do have Blue and Nutro (Petsmart), Natural Balance (Petco), Merrick and Wellness (Pet Supermarket).

I don't have a problem w/her food, it's the treats that I buy!!!

I've purchased soooo many different types of treats and she doesn't seem to like any of them. But my Mom's Norwegian Elkhound will eat all/any of them. I usually give them to her, but maybe I'll see if our shelter will take open boxes/bags of treats...
