I feed mine Wellness. On the advice of a breeder I never feed mine puppy formula food. A large breed dog needs lots of protein...a smaller breed does not.

One problem with foods stating they are high protein...is the amount of indigestible protein in the food. Not all protein is good protein or necessarily from meat. In dry kibble it's processed protein and not like the simple protein found in the raw diet. If it's indigestible...they poo more out. If they don't use all the protein...it remains in their bodies and organs.

Yorkies can get kidney stones...from amino acids...protein breaks down into amino acid. Of course any yorkie with other health problems...such as LS or MVD need lower protein diets.

There are lots of threads in health and diet...I guess really it's a personal preference.
