Feeding Yorkie Pups

Hi Everyone i am new to this forum and i am looking for some advice on feeding
I have two 10 week old yorkie pups
We seem to be stuck on Chicken & Rice at the moment as anything else i try seems to go straight through them

They came with a puppy pack of Royal Canin & even if i just give them a tiny bit in with the chicken & rice it gives them the runs
I then bought James Wellbeloved puppy - small dog for sensitive tummies mixed a tiny amount in with the chicken & rice and over a couple of days they ended up with the runs again
I am not over feeding - they are on 3 feeds a day
Fully wormed

I just thought rather than spend all my time buying various types of feed someone could recommend a tried and tested brand of dry complete puppy food that wont give Yorkie Babies the runs
I wont feed them tinned food - my plan is to eventually go down the raw meat road & follow the principles of
Tom Lonsdale for "Raw Meaty Bones"
But at the moment we are light years away from that lol

hi, all pups have runny tummies when you introduce new feed stuffs. because you have small dogs they wont have to eat a whole lot. i have a 7 week old puppy at the moment and i have tried both wet and dry food with her. i found that vitalin and denes works fine for me. my pup loves the taste and i bought it cheap off ebay. the link below is the woman i bought it from, ive not yet left feedback, but you can message her for details and prices on this food.

Re: Feeding Yorkie Pups

Hi there new to the board so be gentle with me

I have a 9 week old Yorkie pup who has had the 'runs' for 2 days now. The breeder was feeding him on weetabix, so I gather the runs are due to me introducing him to wet food. Now my query is - I would like to feed him on a diet of chicken and rice plus a small amount of Iams dry food in the evenings. Is it possible (safe) to pre cook and freeze the rice and chicken for future use? If so how do I defrost it? Would I need to re-heat it before I fed him? Thanks in advance for any replies guys.

Re: Feeding Yorkie Pups

the rice can be boiled up and given cold to your pups, but i suggest that if you pre cook the chicken, refridgerate it and never re heat the chicken as you can give your dog salmonella if your not careful. you can also try scrambled egg, which will help settle the stomach. i have a 7 week old rotty pup and have just tried her with scrambled egg and it went down a treat. iams might be a bit rich for your pup, you should try something with less protein in it, to help stop the diarrhoea! something i have tried is arden grange, its a bit more expensive but well worth the money, also denes dry puppy food has been successful.
