Question
I have 2 female 6 months old Yochon(Yorkie/Bichon)that are very fuzzy eaters. I have tried every kind of dry dog food out there that they make but they will not eat any of them. But I did finally found one call Innova Puppy food that they like some what but for a few days after they started eating it they had diarrhea but that seem to go away a little  but now they have bad gas all of the time. They are not to crazy about this food also but they do eat it better than the other ones. It is all natural but it does have fruit and veg. in it could that be causing their problems? I can't keep on changing their food, besides being hard on them it is very costly. I just what to know is their a good dog food out there that will solve their gas problem and that they would like also?

Answer
Innova is good dog food. More than likely they are experiencing gas and runny stool because of a change that was too abrupt. Alot of people make the mistake of cycling dog food for their picky dogs thinking they will find one the dogs like. Truth is our sweet little fuzz butts manipulate us just like our children do.
Put that food down for thirty minutes twice per day and pick it right back up. Don't make a big deal of whether they eat or not, no treats during the day no human food. No between mean snacks and no additives. They WILL eat. Dogs are like children., they learn how to control us by our behavior and train us very quickly.
just ignore their eating habits and they'll eat.
Enjoy your little ones
