Royal Canin Mini Yorkshire Terrier Adult Dry Dog Food 3kg

The Royal Canin Mini Yorkshire Terrier Adult Dry Dog Food 3kg is a complete, breed-specific nutritional diet developed for purebred Yorkies over ten months of age. This 3kg formula focuses on maintaining the signature long, silky coat using borage oil and biotin, while protecting small jaws with a custom-shaped kibble designed to reduce tartar build-up.

Product Specifications and Features

• Targeted Coat Care: Enriched with an exclusive blend of Omega-3 (EPA & DHA) and Omega-6 fatty acids, borage oil, and biotin to nourish the skin and support a glossy, silky coat.
• Dental Health Support: Features calcium chelators (sodium triphosphate) that help trap calcium in saliva, significantly reducing the formation of dental plaque and tartar.
• High Palatability: Formulated with a specific aromatic profile and exceptional flavours to stimulate the appetite of fussy or selective eaters.
• Healthy Ageing Complex: Supplies a selection of targeted nutrients and antioxidants to help maintain physical vitality in mature Yorkshire Terriers as they age.
• Custom Kibble Design: The size, shape, and texture of the kibble are physiologically adapted for the narrow jaw of the Yorkie, making it easy to pick up and chew.
• Digestive Security: Utilises L.I.P. Proteins (selected for their high digestibility) and vegetable fibres to promote optimal stool quality and intestinal health.
• Energy Density: Calibrated with 18% fat and 28% protein to meet the high metabolic energy requirements of small, active terrier breeds.

Ideal Use Cases

• Breed-Specific Maintenance: The primary solution for purebred Yorkshire Terriers over 10 months old.
• Long-Coat Management: Essential for Yorkies kept in full show coats or long clips, where skin health and hair lustre are the top nutritional priorities.
• Fussy Eater Support: Highly recommended for small dogs that frequently refuse standard kibble, providing a more attractive sensory experience.
• Urban Apartment Living: Suitable for pet owners in smaller homes, offering high-density nutrition in a compact 3kg bag that is easy to store.

Safety and Storage Precautions

• Weight Management: Small breeds are prone to obesity; always weigh daily portions using a kitchen scale rather than a measuring cup for maximum precision.
• Airtight Storage: Keep the 3kg bag in a cool, dry indoor cupboard and ensure the seal is airtight to prevent the delicate fats and oils from becoming rancid.
• Hydration Requirements: Always provide unlimited access to fresh, clean water, especially as the dry kibble format requires adequate fluid intake for kidney health.
• Transition Protocol: To avoid digestive upset, gradually mix with current food over a 7-day period, slowly increasing the ratio of Royal Canin each day.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this suitable for a Yorkie Puppy? No, this is an adult formula; for dogs under 10 months, use Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrier Puppy for appropriate growth support.
• How long does a 3kg bag last? For an average 3kg Yorkie with normal activity levels, a 3kg bag provides approximately 45 to 50 days of feeding.
• Can I feed this to other small breeds? While safe, the nutrients and kibble shape are specifically optimised for the unique coat and jaw characteristics of the Yorkshire Terrier.
