Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrier Puppy Dry Dog Food, 2.5-lb bag
This Royal Canin formula is designed exclusively for pure breed Yorkshire Terrier puppies from 8 weeks to 10 months. The Yorkie Puppy grows quickly over a short period of time. Throughout its lifetime, the Yorkie Puppy can be a picky eater, so palatability is crucial to ensure its acceptance of a food. Since the digestive tract of a puppy is not fully developed until he matures, it is important to provide a food that supports healthy and gentle digestion. This is why it's important to feed a diet that is tailor-made to their specific needs.

This is only a guide. Optimal feeding amounts may vary according to your pet's temperament, activity level and environment. If you have any questions regarding your pet's health, please contact your veterinarian.
We recommend at least a 7 day transition before you begin feeding the new food exclusively. Start by mixing 75% of the old diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the old diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the old diet with 75% of the new diet. On the 7th day, you can feed the new food exclusively. This allows your pet’s digestive system to smoothly adapt to the new food.
How are Royal Canin diets preserved?
All of our dry diets are preserved naturally with mixed tocopherols, citric acid, and rosemary extract. Our canned diets are naturally preserved and sterilized during the cooking and canning process.
Where do the ingredients in Royal Canin diets come from?
We select our ingredients based on multiple factors, including the supplier’s compliance with our quality and food safety requirements, consistent availability, and on the nutrients required to meet the dietary needs of the pet.Royal Canin is making strides towards sustainability by attempting to obtain sources of raw materials as close to each manufacturing facility as possible. In some cases, we use international suppliers, because only those suppliers can offer raw materials that comply with our quality and food safety standards.
Why do some Royal Canin diets contain by-products?
Royal Canin chooses ingredients because they deliver high-quality nutrients that support our customized pet food formulas. Using chicken by-product meal instead of chicken meal for example will allow Royal Canin to maintain its highly customized nutrient standards while achieving a more secure and sustainable supply.
Why do some Royal Canin diets contain grains?
Grains can be a healthy part of any cat or dog’s diet. As always, we focus on the nutrients each ingredient provides and grains can provide many important nutrients.
How do you ensure Royal Canin diets are safe for my pet?
Our Quality and Food Safety systems are state-of-the-art and we continue to invest heavily in new technology to make sure they remain that way.* We put our suppliers through a rigorous selection process that doesn’t end with our first purchase.* We monitor every load delivered to our plants to verify the safety and quality of the ingredients we use to make pet food.* We perform tests on finished pet foods before they are shipped to our customers.* We manufacture every pet food we sell, in plants that we own; our plants are ISO 9001:2008 certified for Quality Management and ISO 22000 certified for Food Safety.

Tailor-Made Nutrition
Designed for the Specific Needs of the Yorkshire Terrier PuppyWhy Pure Breed Dogs Need Tailored Nutrition
From their personalities to their distinctive physiologies, pure breed dogs have unique characteristics that make them sought-after and beloved companions. When choosing a formula, it's important to keep in mind the unique characteristics of your breed including:
Face and Jaw: All dogs fall into two basic jaw types: Brachycephalic or mesocephalic. Breeds with short, broad muzzles (like Bulldogs) are examples of a brachycephalic jaw. Breeds with a longer muzzle (like Labrador Retrievers) are examples of mesocephalic breeds. The jaw type, and even biting patterns can affect how a breed picks up kibble.
Skin Types: The skin's most important function is to serve as a barrier of protection-but not all breeds have the same skin type. From wrinkled and folded (which traps heat and moisture) to sensitive or water resistant, precise levels of key nutrients help to support a breed's unique skin health needs.
Distinctive Coats: There's more to a coat than meets the eye. From the color and texture to undercoats, each pure breed dog has a unique coat with unique needs.
Breed Specific Formulas
Every dog is unique. From the small, flat-faced Pug to the obesity-prone Labrador Retriever, Royal Canin Breed Health Nutrition is tailor-made to address the unique needs of pure breed dogs. These breed specific formulas benefit from the latest Royal Canin research on the selection of the best protein sources, unique nutrients and tailor-made kibbles.
Formulated for Yorkshire Terrier Puppies
Royal Canin's Yorkshire Terrier Puppy Dry Dog Food is designed exclusively for pure breed Yorkshire Terrier puppies from 8 weeks to 10 months.
Coat health: The Yorkshire Terrier coat is known for its continuous growth and natural softness. This exclusive formula is enriched with Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), Omega-6 fatty acids and biotin to help maintain coat health.
Digestive health: Digestive health is essential during Yorkshire Terrier puppies' growth period. Their digestive system is not yet fully developed and can't absorb nutrients in the same way adult dogs can. Yorkshire Terrier Puppy Dry Dog Food includes L.I.P. proteins to help maintain a balanced intestinal flora.
Natural defenses: During the growth period, Yorkshire Terrier puppies' natural defenses are not yet fully developed. This formula includes an exclusive complex of antioxidants including vitamins E and C, lutein and taurine to maintain their natural defenses.
Exclusive Kibble
Yorkshire Terrier muzzles are relatively short, and their teeth meet in a level bite. The kibble in this formula is designed with the optimal size, shape and texture for Yorkshire Terrier puppies to encourage chewing.
Why Royal Canin?
Over time, Royal Canin has accumulated vast knowledge about cats and dogs that only extensive research, scientific study and tireless talks with pet professionals, veterinarians and owners can provide. That knowledge led them to develop precise nutrition for cats and dogs. Each Royal Canin formula is tailored to pets' size, age, lifestyle and breed and contains more than 50 perfectly balanced nutrients for the most effective diet possible.
Their focus on science puts pets at the heart of the formulation process, choosing only ingredients that optimize the food's nutritional content. Royal Canin also continues to invest heavily in new technology to ensure their quality and food safety systems remain state-of-the-art, so pets can continue to benefit from the latest in food health and nutrition.

He loves it!
By dogchef on Feb 10, 2020
This kibble is much smaller than what the breeder had him on. He gobbles it up with a little bit of plain yogurt. He likes it so much we use it to give him little treats for good behavior.

Great Food
By Jennie on Oct 19, 2019
My vet recommended Royal Canine and many years I’ve given it from puppy to adult and my Yorkies never have digestion issues. They are very healthy and have beautiful coats. I do wish they made large bag of the puppy.

Good for Picky Eaters
By Sanjo on Aug 18, 2019
My Yorkie mix is a picky eater, and I've tried all different types of puppy food. She likes this one right out of the bag. Doesn't require mixing with wet food to spark appetite in my puppy.

Puppy loves it
By CocosMom on Aug 31, 2019
Our 11 week old parti Yorkie wouldn’t eat her other dry food without mixing wet food. We switched her to this and she LOVES it just as it is!
