Hey Guys,

I'm new here, mostly use YT for research. I'm finally getting a yorkie puppy, and I'm trying to research a good adult type of food. The breeder uses Royal Canin Yorkie Puppy Food, and I'm going to continue using that until it's an adult.

I've narrowed down the brands: Merrick, and Wellness are my top two picks, then Science Diet or Royal Canin.

My questions is: does small breed formula matter? Or can I use regular formula and be ok? I've read all about how small breeds need more calories, fats, and proteins in their diet, but a lot of that is from food brand websites, so I'm concerned there's a bias to sell specialty food, instead of truthfully convey information.

Any info, or opinions, would be helpful. Thanks!
