| RC recommends 8-10 months old....depending on size of the puppy, and just because it is easier for me to remember, I leave mine on RC puppy kibble until they are 1 year old, then I go to Mini adult. |

| Is that the RC adult for yorkies??? It doesnt say if they are tiny kibbles or not , just says optimal. However there is a mini adult kibble. Would that be it? |

| Yes, the MINI adult kibble! Everything RC sells for small dogs is called "MINI".....and now they have added an "X-Tra Small" formula for the smaller toy dogs and puppies.....my 4 punders enthusiastically eat mini adult, and even the mini indoor adult.....if you have a very small pup that want the tiny kibble, that would be the formula to go for...the "X-Tra Small" formula is great! RC recommends changing to adult at 10 months, but I just round it up to a year old, especially if the dog is small....that extra two months will make no difference and do no harm to that growing pup. |

| What bag/formula are you reading from? I have always fed the Mini Adult and mine are smaller than 9 lbs.....except 2 small "cows" I have here! It does not seem to have made any difference at all! |

| Can you get a hold of Royal Canin for Yorkshire Terrier Adult? It is recommended for Yorkies over 10 months of age: Yorkshire Terrier / BREED HEALTH NUTRITION? / Dog Products / Products / Products / Home Royal Canin USA - Royal Canin This is what we used to feed Bella, and the kibble size was perfect for her. |
