Hi everyone, I am new to posting (although not to lurking around the forums) and had a quick question. Sorry, this is not about a purebred yorkie.

I have a 4 month yorkie poodle mix (hes 3/4 yorkie and acts 100% yorkie). I was prescribed Royal Canine Gastrointestinal food to clear up some diarrhea. I always thought he wasn't a big eater, but wow.. he just plows through his food! He has never been so excited to be eat! So I made the decision to switch him from his Wellness Small Breed Puppy, to Royal Canine. I noticed they make a mini puppy food, as well as a yorkie specific puppy food. They suggest only feeding it to purebreds, however I find that all of the benefits that they state the yorkie blend has, are things that Cobalt and I have trouble with. (Digestive system, picky eater, etc).

Has anyone ever fed breed specific food to a hybrid pup? Do you think it would be detrimental to feed him the Yorkie blend?
