    I need help

    My Yorkie is like 6mons old ,and she will not drink much water. Also when I put hard food in her bowl mixed with the doggy meat....She moves the hard food on the floor ,and picks out the wet food.

    Any ideas on how I can get her to eat her hard food ,and get her to drink her water.

    Also are pet carriers good ,because I was looking into buying a male carrying case. So that i will not have to leave her at home when i go to the mall.


    I love my baby girl

    She may just not like it. Or are you feeding her adult food? Since, she is only six months she should only eat the puppy formulas. But maybe she just doesn't like it. Expirement with other foods and if your using adult formula then change to puppy formula.

    I think your pup would be better off at home than going to the mall with you. Soialization is good, but a crowded mall is a bit much at first. I personally don't like carrying cases, dogs should learn to walk rather than being carted everywhere. Does your mall allow dogs?
    i bring my bunny roxy to the mall with me all the time and when we go to stores(even if it says no pets we still try most places cant resist her adorable face lol) like zellers it says no pets but they all love her so they let her slip, but if they say she has to leave then i do, like in walmart

    Welcome. Your pup is adorable.
    If you want her to eat hard food thats all you should give her. She might refuse to eat for a meal or two, but she'll get over this quickly when she realizes you aren't going to coddle her. If you have a set food schedule and only put the dish out for twenty minutes she'll develope a habit of eating the meals you give her right away. Dont give her many treats until she starts to eat her food consistently. Yorkies tend to have dental issues so hard foods are best. What brand are you giving her?
