Royal Canin is the only thing i've found yet that's good for him, he has a weighting proplem so he doesnt need much to be overwheight
Now he is on Royal Canin Obesity food, I'm making him loose wheight, when he will be in good shape I'll put him on Royal Canin Mini Light so he doesnt get fat again.

Is Hills any better than Royal Canin?
Its just either Royal Canin or Hills for him because he needs special food, if i give him ''normal'' dog food (not light or obesity) he gains wheight fast !
He gained 1 and a half kilos on 3 months! and he's a YORKIE , not a Labrador or something.
He gained so much cause i put him on ProPlan for 2-3 months,i bought that food cause it was much cheaper, but now i see that its much better to buy more expensive food.

When he was on Hills he was on obese food so i cant tell how it is, his fur was not so good and he pooped alot more, then the vet said that he was suppose to do that, i dont know what to believe.

Is Royal Canin bad dog food?
I've seen people who just dont want to feed their dogs Royal Canin because of something i dont know, I've always thought that Royal Canin was the best dog food available.

How big of a selection of foods do you have where you live? Have you had a vet do bloodwork, check his thryoid and look for possible underlying health problems that are affecting his weight?

Generally, I agree with Brit and the foods she listed - she and I are very like minded on our pup's diet. But, sometimes your choices can be limited. If that's the case, especially if you think you have a special needs yorkie, then find the food that works for him and stick to it. This is my opinion only, but I don't feel that RC is better than SD, or vice versa. Both are of similar quality.
