How is this dog food? Is it GOOD for yorkie puppies and/or adult yorkies?

I have been told that it is good food... but my dogs would not eat it

The vitamins are great! My dogs love it.

I think it's just an okay food. I am sure it works very well for some people but I also don't think it's THAT great or anything. It wouldn't be worth it to me to get it shipped, etc.

My boys have been on Life's Abundance for about a year. Cooper has a very sensitive stomach and did very well on this food. However, we recently switched to Fromm Four Star and my Cooper who used to eat very slowly, one kibble at a time is now really enjoying the flavor of this new food. Cooper is not a picky eater but I didn't realize until a year later that perhaps he didn't enjoy it too much.

So glad this food is working good for you,i have seen it but never bought it

We tried it but a long with 30 other brands of food my dogs didnt eat it for long.
I think its an ok food to feed, my dogs did ok on it except for the eye drainage but they seem to have that with just about every food, some foods make it worse. I have 4 dogs to feed, two that that are 25 pounds and 2 that are under 10 pounds so the shipping cost was pretty high.
My dogs so far have seem to do the best on
Taste of the wild..lamb..my littles stopped eating this fairly quickly but my biggers LOVE it and I have seen huge improvments in thier coats, eyes and over all energy.
Natures variety...both sets of dogs like this, did well on it, but it was hard for me to find it local so I have stopped buyiing for now.
Natural Balance Synergy formula... just started my littles on this and they love it.. have great poos, seems like a great food. I also give them some of their meat rolls an they have always gone gaga over them, I just wont feed them as thier sole food source...

No veterinary nutritionist on staff.
I doubt AAFCO feeding trial was done (just a nutrient analysis which is considered second best).
They claim or used to claim it's human grade and that is not a legally defined term (it doesn't exist).
There is a push to give their extra supplement. Feeding a balanced food means you do not need to supplement. If it's a balanced, wholesome food yet they believe you should add more vitamins, isn't that contradictory? If these extras are so important, then why not put them in the food??

It's not a food I'd feed my dogs, but that's just my opinion.
Some dogs do seem to do fine on it. They are all different...
