Organic isn't legally defined for pet food companies, so I don't bother with it for my dogs.

Totally untrue that small dogs shouldn't have more than 22% protein. Also untrue that low protein foods are bad. High protein doesn't cause kidney damage, but it does have to be metabolized and the kidneys have to eliminate the excess nitrogen. So I choose not to put extra stress on my pups' liver and kidneys. Some think it's no big thing. Personal preference.

I believe all Yorkies should be on low fat diets and Dr. Remillard (BC nutritionist) leans towards lower fat food for Yorkies. They are prone to pancreas issues. I won't take the risk of feeding high fat. Not necessary and not safe IMO.
