| Royal Canin Yorkie for Puppies My Ahi was not eating any kind of kibble at all. I tried a few different brands and even tried softening them before hand. I also tried to mix it with her soft food. She would eat all the soft food and spit out the kibble. LOL I was getting tired of spending so much money on food that she wasn't even interested in. So finally I decided to try the Royal Canin Yorkie for Puppies that everyone was talking about on here. I opened the bag and I smelled the kibble. I thought that it had a really good smell compare to the other kibble brands I bought. I gave her a piece and she loved it. I poured a little in to her bowl and she ate most of it up. She now plays and goes back to her bowl to get a few bites. I'm so happy because she never did this with kibble before. So I give a thumbs up to the Royal Canin for Yorkies.

| That's great. I have been feeding some of the adult Yorkie Royal Canin to Teddy and he loves it!

| Teddy did really well on Royal Canin yorkie puppies. I'm glad you found what works for your pup

| We switched Basil and Caper to it......they seem to like it a lot better than their Merrick Puppy plate. Naturally, they both prefer the Iams Low Residue that Maxine eats, and the Nutro SR Large Breed that Carlo eats. Seems every fog her loves what the others eat. |

Senior Yorkie Talker | My Lexi who is also a very picky eater loves Royal Canin. I went through the same experience as you with trying different foods and so far the Royal Canin is the only food that she will eat. I have read numerous bad reviews on the Royal Canin brand, but overall I think it is a great brand and I like the fact that they have a wide variety of choices to fit different needs.

| Every dog is different... I would feed whatever you feel works best for your dog. In the end it does not matter what others feel or feed. Those are a good starting place if you need advice but in the end it is what works best for YOUR dog.

| My dogs ate that too, now that they're older, they eat royal canin med-ical dental. My dogs both love it and they are larger chunks so are good to be used for treats and training. Amazing for their teeth |

| Gizmo is really picky, and we tried RC and he liked it, gave him good bowl movements too. However, after about a week he was itching and lost interest. So, hopefully it'll work for your baby. Goodness knows a picky Yorkie eater is never fun.

| I use Royal Canin too (#33 - not the one especially for Yorkies). He does not like any canned foods and he doesn't like treats. He will only eat it if it is fresh and crispy. If it has been sitting out for a few hours, he sniffs at it and walks away...lol.

| Uni's used to eat RC also. But since then it has gone up in price, and contains corn. I think it's just ok, but better than a lot of foods out there. On occasion I give Uni kibble, Solid Gold, but for the most part I give her Honest Kitchen. It's almost like raw or canned bc you rehydrated the food with warm water.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | This is the food Joey chose and he gives it 2 paws up! Lol, it was funny when you said it smelled better, most dog foods make me gag, but I love the way this smells! I don't agree with many of the dog food sites that grade food, most of the people doing the grading have had no training in nutrition, and learning about the way vitamins, minerals and amino acids work together, is such an important part. I do like this site, and I think it gives you information on how you can make a good food choice. Here what it says about corn: Quote:

I actually have tasted it, accidently. Joey always gets 5 pieces before bedtime, and I get a few almonds before bedtime. One night, while carrying the small bowls, I accidently took one of his, it wasn't as quite good as he makes it out to be!
