Unfortunately I'm in a small town overseas and my two choices are pedigree from the grocery store or Royal Canin from the vet's office. They don't sell anything else worth mentioning. So, RC seems to be the best option out of my choices. Hopefully my dogs won't be allergic, but we'll have to try it and see.

I'm still looking for an answer as to how many Tablespoons of RC I should give my 3 pound Yorkie?

mimimomo, You said that Princess gets 1.5 heaping TBSP of kibble twice a day. Is that kibble Royal Canin or another brand?

I read the package instructions, but I recommends much more food than I give my dogs when they eat Solid Gold. I understand that SG has many more calories per kibble so they don't need as much, but it's a big difference between the two and I don't want their tummies to stretch and get use to a huge meal twice a day.

any advice is much appreciated! THANKS!!
