Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrier Puppy Food - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hello! I am just looking for everyone opinions on "Royal Canin" specifically the "Yorkshire Terrier Puppy/Adult" type.
Would you say it is a well balanced diet? Do they do animal testing?

My plan for my puppy, Kinsley, is to always have Royal Canin in her bowl and give her raw food snacks throughout the day. I absolutely love the raw food diet, how it is organic and the ingredients have nothing added to it but when I move back home for the summer I know Kinsley will eat my moms yorkie, Chanel's, food.

Has anyone fed their yorkie this way? I will do whatever is best for Kinsley!

Both Ruby and Rosie were on that food. I liked it, they liked and then one day they stopped liking it. I thought Ruby's skin was dry and she had been itching and I thought maybe it was her food. Didn't see much difference with the change. I would some day maybe go back to it.

ZoE has been on RC since she was 6 weeks old...she's now 2yrs old. She's done great on it.

No issues whatsoever...and I like the company & it's quality control standards.

I've used it successfully for years. I really like it, and the company is always open to questions and friendly to customers.

My Yorkies are on Royal Canin exclusively, from conception to grave....you wont find another company with the quality control standards of RC, and it is nutritionally balanced based on scientific evidenced based research. I have never had any issues with it, and my dogs have always loved it.

A lot of people on here use that food with great success. I personally would feed a food without grain but that's just me. I would leave the pup on the food she is on for a little while after getting her sense so many things will be changing for her. Also I don't think it's a good idea to feed a dog raw until 1 year of age.

I feed Jessie Royal Canin Calm and she has had no problems...I am switching to the yorkie formula (I needed all calm I could get while she recuperates from surgery)

I had Molly on Iams, then one day she stopped eating it. Her coat always seemed dry and she was forever itching. When I got Mannie, his breeder had him on Royal Canin. So I thought what the heck, I will try Molly on it. She LOVED it, her coat is is nice and bright now and her dry skin went away. Both Molly and Mannie love it and Vet says they Both beautiful dogs.

I home cook for our Harry...but leave Royal Canin down for him to graze on.

He loves it, it's his kibble of choice (he actually won't go near any of the others, and believe me, I've tried DOZENS!!!

).

We too started with the Yorkie Puppy option, and then at 10 months (I think it was!) changed to the Adult Yorkie version. No problems whatsoever

Good luckl! Sally + Harry x
