www.rawmeatybones.

I know a lady who does Yorkie Rescue, and this is all she feeds her 10 yorkies, and all she feeds all the rescues that go through her home. She currently has 10 Yorkies that she is fostering while they wait for homes.

She swears by Yorkies and raw food.

Try Yahoo Groups... There is one called rawfeeding.

They will give you all the info on how to get started, etc.

Good luck

I don't usually approve of feeding human food to dogs, but my Doberman is allergic to gluten and most dog foods give him terrible diarrhoea. As it's hard to get hold of the gluten-free stuff where we live, my vet suggested feeding him human food - meat, veg, just simple stuff, and he has thrived on it. He also has a probiotic yoghurt every day to keep his guts healthy. That's what he has eaten for two years now and he is a show quality dog, full of energy, absolutely beautiful, whereas on dog food he was a pitiful sight, skin and bones. I still believe this is only a good route to take if you have to though. Have you tried a variety of different dog foods, both wet and dry?
