| Royal Canine Hi, I was in Pet Smart this weekend with Izzy and there was a representative from Royal Canine there. She was telling me that they have food that is for Yorkies because they did research on different breeds and found that they need food specific to their breed. Does anyone feed their Yorkie this brand of pet food, if so what do you think about it? She said it was just as good as the Nutro Ultra Im feeding him now. Just wondering?

I know all of you want to do the best by your dogs, but I will say what I tell my new families, you can feed the best food your money can by, but if they don't eat it, what good is it.

| I would have bought it if it did not have the corn. If you see the rep again, ask why they put corn in there!

| My two eat it... Both of their breeders had them on the puppy kibble when I got them so I just naturally transitioned them to the adult food of the same brand. It does have corn in it though, which some dogs have allergies to. One thing I do like is that the kibble is quite small. Ruthie likes to swallow her food whole, so the kibbles have to be teeny for her. I haven't found another kibble with pieces as small as RC.

| My two pups eat it and just love it! Jack would not eat ANYTHING so, we tried this and he eats the puppy formula great now. I have not tried the adult formula yet though.

| I've posted before that I tried the Royal Canin and had to switch because Brandy got really itchy from it (I assume because of the corn). This may not be a problem for some others. Infact, Titan was fine with it. Aside from that, one of their marketing points is the size and/or shape of the kibble is supposed to help keep the teeth clean and healthy when they chew it. My two were pretty much swallowing most of it whole. Prior to that I was feeding Nutro lamb and rice which was a little larger kibble size and they chewed it. Now I am feeding California Natural and they do seem to chew most of it so it is working out well for us (and no more itching for Brandy). Oh and my two are in the 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 lb range, so pretty average sized yorkies, I guess. As far as taste, both of my yorkies loved all three brands. Actually I have never come across a food or treat that my two don't love and eat with gusto. I can't imagine dealing with picky eaters like to many of you all do.

| I feed Rocky the Royal Canine Yorkie, and he loves it. I orginally was feeding him the Nutro Ultra which he would eat, but he would eat very slowy because the kibble is so large. A friend gave some of the RC, so I mixed it with his Nutro see see if he liked it. Well Rocky ate all the RC and took all of the Nutro kibble out of his bowl. So I switched. |

oooh... I may have to try that when I get through this monster bag of RC... Ruthie has started to show some really dry skin - now I'm not sure if that's because I've switched her to adult completely now or if it's because of the winter weather and how dry it is in my apartment... Anyways, I will definitely keep that in mind! Thanks!

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | My love the Royal Canine. I too put a few kibbles in with the food they were eating at the time and they dug and cherry picked out the Royal. We switched! I have wasted a lot of money trying to find the best food for them, but as Mardelin said what good is it if they won't eat it!
