My two yorkies almost 7 yrs male & female. Have been feeding them dry Blue buffalo since having them. Have been reading about more meat I.e. this Dr. Marty’s freeze dried nature food.
Any comments on this or other. Just wanting to have them the best diet possible. Thanks

What ever food you are going to feed these three things are a must, Do they have a vet nutritionist on staff, do they have good quality control, and do they do feeding trails.

Ok, going to sound dumb here ? What is a feeding trail ?

When they feed it to a group of dogs and do lab tests continuesly to make sure the dogs are doing well on and getting the right nutrition.

aGidget will be 3 next week and I've always had her on Royal Canin. Every time I take her to Vet for routine checks, he always tells me that she's doing great and keep on doing whatever it is I'm doing for her.

I have not read good reviews on blue buffalo. They advertise it alot on tv but I think it has negative issues. I would not feed that. I use Lifes Abundance that I order on line. Also mine get hills id because of sensitive stomach. Please do more research on that blue buffalo food. Only the best for our yorkies!

It sounds like it'd be a food with less processed ingredients, which is always more healthy - be it for a dog or a human. I've been feeding frozen raw for about 11 years now and love it - I mostly use Primal, Nature's Variety, or SoJos.

I've also read bad reviews on Blue Buffalo. Wouldn't consider using it at all!!

I am taking my dogs off hills rx wet id. The turkey. With all those recalls i am scared to serve hills to my yorkies. I have researched dog foods and chose Fromm turkey and sweet potatoes.

sandy simpson · 02-07-2019, 06:08 AM

My yorkies get Lifes Abundance dry food with a bit of warm water in it. I order that on line. Now Im hoping the Fromm turkey and pumpkin will be good for them.

I took my yorkies off hills rx food and started them on Fromm. They both like it. The turkey and pumpkin pate. There are carrots and peas. I am very happy with this food. They get Lifes Abundance dry. I put warm water, a little pate and the dry kibble. They sure eat it!
