I've heard different things about protein for yorkies. Some swear high protein is the best but others say it is not good for them. Since I didn't know for sure, I went with a food with a normal protein level instead of high protein. I feed Innova but not EVO. I feed the regular puppy food which has 28% protein. Both my yorkies are under a year. The Innova adult food only has 23% I believe. If you wanted a higher quality food, you might try the regular Innova. I know Royal Canin uses a lot of corn in their foods which is def. not good for our little guys. The corn can cause skin problems and allergies. BUT the important thing is to find what works for you and your baby!

BTW - I was able to get samples of the regular Innova food prior to purchasing a bag. If you can't get samples, I know they offer a really small bag to buy - I think it is only about 2 pounds and should be around $5.

Good luck!
