What should I feed my yorkie puppy?
I have a question about what I should feed my yorkie pup. He is 5 months old now and still growing. He was on dry kibble food, premium brand, when we first got him from the breeder. And then the vet said to switch him to wet food because he wasn't eating all of his dry food and we were getting worried. Well, now we feed him wet food 3 times a day, and he doesn't eat all of it. We had been heating it up, and maybe we had been heating it up too hot because this morning he ate all of his wet food, and I had warmed it up to room temperature. He ate it all! but I am kind of getting worried because:
1. I have read that puppies need to eat more wet food than they would dry because the wet is mostly moisture, and my baby doesn't eat all of it.
2. I have also read that kibble is better for the dogs because it makes them chew and helps keep their teeth healthier.
That, and also that the food we are giving him is not specifically meant for puppies only but "puppies and dogs." he has been growing  (well, it seems) but I am worried about this, as it will affect his future. I want to change his food ASAP but don't know what to change it to. Please help!
