What kind of dog food is best for a teacup yorkie?

Try about the vet quote. Many vets do not have a clue about what to feed a dog I would never ask a vet what brand of dry dog food to feed my dogs!

Science Diet, Alpo, Bil Jack Purina, Iams, Eukanuba, and most of the dog foods you can find at your local store are trash! I am disgusted and saddened when I hear this is what people are feeding their dogs. They say "well my dogs been on it for years and shes doing fine" They just don't get it. There is a science behind it, and really just do some simple research.

Many of these foods contain corn in the top ingredient's and corn should NOT be in a dogs diet! It leads too many different problems, such as hair/skin/coat problems to name a few. If you look on your dogs bag and check out the ingredients if it says corn, soy, no wheat, ..do NOT feed to your dog.

Also these foods say they have meat in them. LOL there is no good nutritious meat at all, but nasty byproducts and the trash leftover that they pawn off as meat. There are articles showing that the meat that is in our dogs foods if any really is the spoiled, old rotten meat that has expired from our local supermarkets and they get thrown into huge vats that make the dog food plastic wrapper and all its true. I didn't know any of this until I got my 2nd dog a year go, and started researching dog foods.

There are many great dog foods out there that have real nutritional value, and are filled with what a dog needs. Remember, dogs are omnivores, and cats are carnivores. Dogs NEED to eat vegetables and fruits, and meat. The dog foods should include tomatoes, blueberries, carrots, kelp, bananas, cranberries, sweet potato's and more, I could go on and on.

Raw is awesome for the dogs, and if you cant do raw, which I personally do both I use a great brand of ready made raw food by Aunt Jenis its great. I also feed my dogs kibble, by the name of Timberwolf Organics. The problem with many of the crappy dog brands, are also that they have all this added stuff in the them, to extend their shelf life there is just so much I could add, I just cant stand these dog food brands that people swear by. By feeding actual good food, it does and will make a difference in the long turn. Yes, you still have to find which "good" dog food suits your particular breed and its needs and when switching over it does take some adjustments. If your dog is pooping too much, you maybe feeding too much food, or the wrong particular type of food there is such a thing as too much protein for your canine companion.

Also if you dint want too, you don't understand it, or cant do it, though if you do it right, it really doesn't take too much time in the kitchen it really doesn't (it can be overwhelming for newbies), and if done right and smart it wont hurt your wallets. But a notice and very healthy simple thing you can do, is to give your dog a tablespoon or two of plain yogurt, or cottage cheese, and even an egg also if they will eat it just by giving it to them and giving them veggies and fruits! Just never feed them onions, raisins, grapes, and never salt. If you give them an Apple, core it my dogs love Apples and bananas.

Good brands are: Timberwolf Organics, Natures Variety, Merrick, Great Life, Eagle, Innova, Evo, Blackwood, Chicken Soup for the dog/puppy, these are a few of Excellent choices for your 4 legged friend.

Other good choices: Wellness, I love wellness treats, and Innova treats only treats I feed my dogs. Do NOT feed treats such as pups in a blanket, or any of those treats made by Alpo, or Purina just read the ingredients and remember No, corn, soy or wheat.

Also when feeding your dogs treats and snacks same rules make sure their is NO corn, NO soy, and NO wheat!!!! NO byproducts!!
