| anyone use royal canin and hv skin problem?? ok..heres my problem. im changing my baby food to royal canin yorkshire 28. and the pet shop guy said that royal canin is not good, yorkies eating them are prone to skin problem, because it has high protein and fat. now is that true? I know many of you use royal canin. that guy suggested me nutro..how about it? anybody use nutro? |

| My 2 both eat the Royal Canin 28. I've tried a couple others, and they don't like it. They consistently like the Royal Canin and I haven't had any skin problems with either of them.

| Yes, they both had very dry skin when we fed them that. We feed them Natural balance hard food and then we get a soft canned food also from our vet that is chicken and rice.They seem to like it. We had boiled chicken, cut up carrots and cottage cheese to the soft food sometimes.

| Cody was on Nutro and i switched him to Science Diet and i changed him to Royal Canin Puppy 33 because either the nutro or science diet was causing him to lose his hair. he has a patch where there is no hair. and he has dry skin. he seems to be doing better now that he is on the Royal Canin |

| Britney used to itch herself crazy when I fed Royal Canin. One time she did it so bad she had to go to the vet. I believe she might have been allegeric to corn which is one of the first and main ingredients in R.C. |

| I use the Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrier food that is made in Europe, I think that there is a diffirence in that one and the american one. But mine is very very good, coat is very good, skin is also good and they thrive extremely well on it. Also many Silky Terriers I know eat this food and are very good on that. |

| MY two LOVED the Royal Canine but I too think they had itchy skin from it so we are now on Nutro which they are not crazy about. I wish I could go back to the Royal Canine but am affraid they would itch again. If you have no problems with it I would say go for it - I think it is a pretty decent food. Good luck!

| I believe Ellie had a reaction to the corn in Royal Canin.

| All 3 of mine Love Royal Canine! I have 3 Yorkies, 1 finicky male @ 4 yrs. old, and 2 females, 1 that's 3 yrs. old and their baby girl that is 1 yr. old. All 3 absolutely Love Royal Canine, and all 3 have long full coats, they have never had any skin problems of any kind! That surprises me that the Salesperson would say that since it is made specifically for "Yorkie's"? So far of all the Dogfood brands I have tried they will consistantly eat it without hesitation, Yorkies have been labled as "Picky" eaters you leave any food down long enough they will eventually eat it! I want mine to have the Best of everything and so far it seems to be? Good Luck! |

| We feed Tilly RC and her coat has gotten so much better. We use to feed her cheap food from Wal-Mart ( ) and she would bite patches of her fur off. It was terrible. Her poo was bad too. We have never had any problems or complaints on RC.

| Our baby Faith has been eating Royal Canine since the breeder, she is now a very healthy 2 1/2 year old and never ever had any problems. She will continue to use that as she does more then well. |
