I feed Joey 4 Tablespoons of RC a day, the package says at 5 1/2 pounds he should get more of it, but so much depends on how much exercise a dog gets and their individual metabolism. After a trick training class, Joey put on a lot of extra weight, and the vet said to reduce his food by a third, and add a few green beans, to help fill him up. He gradually lost the weight, and looks trim at his present weight. We've been extremely happy with RC and had no tearing at all on it, but wanted to switch to a food that had potatoes instead of corn, and Joey developed extreme brown tearing and gunk in his eyes from the new food, so we switched back to RC. Most of the problems I've heard with RC is due to the corn content, and the allergy displays itself with extreme itching, corn is not the first ingredient of RC as it is in many dog foods, most dogs don't have a problem with corn, but you'll probably know if your dog starts scratching itself all the time. RC is supposed to have an ingredient that helps reduce tartar, and at 3 Joey's teeth are looking really good, we also do other things for this too, but since tartar is such a problem with yorkies, and many start losing teeth at 3, it's something to think about. |
