Welcome to YT Richie and b_landry! Glad to have you both here!

Richie-I don't personally use the Cranberry Fields products, but I know many YT'ers just rave about them, and it's something I'd like to try.

B_Landry-Marcerella02 has a great point about the food you're feeding. Skin condition comes mostly from the inside, with a little help from what you do for the outside. Eukanuba is made by Iams-it's not a high quality food. Do some research here on YT and online, and you'll find suggestions for higher quality foods that have more meat and less fillers, which mean fewer allergens. A great reference website is Dog Food Analysis - Reviews of kibble -look for a 4-5 star food, and check out the ingredients in them. 6 star foods are typically too rich for yorkies, and are better suited for larger breed working dogs. It's not the only source of information on food, but it's a great place to start. Many people on YT feed Canidae, Orijen, Natural Balance, and Innova just to name a few commercial foods that people seem to like. (I personally homecook for my two, feeding meats raw, but I am looking for a kibble to feed for some meals, and I will be doing my research here too ) Please let us know if you have any questions-many of us have done lots of research on the different foods and particular ingredients, and are glad to help!
