Will she not eat the kibble unless you add a wet food? RC has canned food also, in those short cans. If you have to add a wet food, I would stick with the RC canned....especially if you are adding just a dab to the kibble! A short can would have multiple servings in it.....cost efficient! If she eats the kibble without the wet food added, I wouldnt add wet food....just me personally. That kibble has everything in it she needs to develop and grow into a beautiful baby girl!

When I had a couple that had to be more calorie controlled. They have a calorie controlled kibble, but they had been on the Mini Adult for their entire life and loved it....didnt want to rock the boat!I had to cut back on the kibble she was getting and I would just add some French Cut Green Beans into the kibble and they loved that!

At her age, she should still be on the RC Mini puppy. It is smaller kibble and it is easier for her tiny mouth/teeth to manage. When she hits 10-12 months old, I would switch her to the RC Mini Adult. I like the shape of the kibble in the mini Adult better than the breed specific Yorkshire Terrier Mini.....seems it causes them to chew that kibble longer, rather than the little pillow shaped kibble, so I have always just fed the Mini Adult rather than the breed specific. My dogs coats are beautiful, have been for many, many years....

I would leave her on the puppy food until closer to 1 year old simply because of her size..... I have used RC for over 35 years and I am very happy with the results evident in all my dogs!
