Firstly I'd just like to appolgise for asking so many questions. I really appreciate everyones answer, so I wholeheartedly thank each and everyone of you for all the amazing help and tips you have given to me.

After trying my Yorkie bitch on every know dog food to man, I have finally got a way for her to eat, I am just worried incase it's not nutritious enough.

10am Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrier (she eats about 10-20g)
3pm A few pedigree cheesy treats and a chew on a pigs ear.
8pm Either Cooked Pork loin or Chicken with Royal Canin mixed

Would this feed be enough to supplement her or would she not be getting enough calories or vitamins.
Also after hearing bad things about RC on here should I gradually change it to AG?

Cheers,

What bad things have you heard about Royal Canin???

I've been feeding it to Yorkies and Chi's for years.  Although I don't mess with their breed specific, preferring mini junior and mini adult.  The condition on my dogs is great, so I'm wondering what is bad about it?

A Horses for courses.

A lot of people love Royal Canin (it makes my dogs loose if they get more than 25% of it, and it's very pricey).

I use it up when I win it, but wouldn't choose to feed it as it doesn't agree with my dogs as well as other foods.

A freind has jsut reared a GSD puppy on it and couldn't praise it more,a dn we all knwo that GSD's can be sensitive with food.

Sounds like she will be ok on what you are feeding her, she's having a good amount of the complete as well as fresh meat.

If you're worried, you could always try her with a little veg or fruit in her diet also.  She will get her vits from the Royal Cannin so not panic about vit tablets or paste.

Glad you have her eating.

I found RC put far too much weight on my dogs. On the other hand I've just visited a police dog section over the weekend and they fed all their dogs and reared pups on RC and were very happy with it.
