Thanks...I will look into that 4
sure...appreciate it very much cuz I would
be crushed if I hurt my baby by giving her
the wrong food when i thought I was doing
the right thing!

Both of mine are on Nutro Natural
Choice....Daisy is on the weight
management formula and Boudreaux is on the
puppy chow. Both of mine love it and have
not had any problems at all. They both
have tons of energy and their coats are
beautiful.

Sorry to hear about your baby's ear
infections. My Daisy is a Springer and
also has ear problems especially during
the summer after swimming. We use an ear
powder called Aristopet along with a
cleaning solution. As long as we use this
once a week, and after swimming, Daisy's
ear are fine.

My Yorkie has been on nutro sence she was
a baby.. I give her the lamb and rice with
veggies.. I also mix in some vegies and
chichen or beef that I make up in advance
and keep in the freezer..
You should avoid corn and peas they are
statchy and hard for a little dogs to
digest.. That's what my yorkie book said
any way..
I put down a little nutro dry for her and
then feed her can nutro with the veggies
around 4:30.. P.M.
She is very healthy and her weight is just
where it should be.. She is 8..
My Yorkie will eat anything.. except
shrimp.. she loves fruite, melons of all
kinds..

Boudreaux has decided that he won't eat
his supper for the past 2 nights! He
gobbles his breakfast but when I put
supper down he turns his nose up and walks
away. He looks and acts fine and he's
still hungry for cookies but no interest
in supper. Any thoughts?

No same exact thing...I don't know what's
going on with him....we'll see how it goes
tonight. Daniel (husband) thinks that he's
getting too many cookies throughout the
day and by supper time he's no longer
hungry.

Well he decided to eat tonight! A little
sprinkle of cheese on his food didn't hurt
either....I know I'm bad.
