The growing Yorkshire Terrier's immune system is especially sensitive, as it hasn't yet fully developed the capacity to form its own anti-bodies. Frequent changes in diet can negatively influence the puppy's intestinal flora and result in sensitive digestion.

Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrier Junior dry dog food was developed especially to cater for these particular requirements of Yorkshire Terriers up to 10 months of age:

Controlled growth: Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrier Junior supports harmonic bone development during the short, intense growth period by providing optimal protein contents and a balanced supply of calcium and phosphorus Healthy coat: the special recipe can help keep the Yorkshire Terrier's long coat healthy and smooth. Enriched with a balance of Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA), Omega-6 fatty acids, borage and biotin. Optimal digestion: Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrier Junior dog food supports a balanced intestinal flora and can help to reduce the amount of stool Strengthening the natural defences: contributes to a strengthening of the natural body defences of Yorkshire Terrier puppies Plaque prevention: added sodium phosphate helps to minimize calcium contained in the dog's saliva, preventing this from contributing to the build-up of plaque.
