Tailored nutrition
Give your dog tailored nutrition. Skin & coat health, appetite stimulation, healthy intestinal transit
What it is Royal Canin's three Yorkie targets. Coat support rests on vegetable oil and fish oil, 8th and 9th; transit leans on powdered cellulose 7th and beet pulp 10th.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Oil and fiber at these spots are standard in canned food, and no omega-3 level is guaranteed, so a Yorkie's coat gets ordinary help. The real Yorkie touches are the 3 oz can and the soft loaf.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Chicken and pork, mostly as by-products and liver, fill spots 2 to 5 behind water. That's two meats, so it won't suit single-protein diets.
- 2 chicken by-products
- 3 pork by-products
- 4 chicken
- 5 pork liver
What’s in the can
- First ingredient
- Water sufficient for processing, there for moisture. Almost every wet food opens with water or broth; what follows it is the recipe.
- First meat
- chicken by-products, second on the list. Named meats near the top: chicken by-products, pork by-products, chicken and pork liver.
- Thickeners and binders
- pork plasma, carrageenan, sodium tripolyphosphate and guar gum. They give the food its texture and hold pieces together. Normal in wet food; starches and flours also add carbohydrate.
- Added color
- None listed.
- Flagged additives
- None from our list.

Declaration
Exactly as the can prints it, heaviest first
Water sufficient for processing, chicken by-products, pork by-products, chicken, pork liver, corn flour, powdered cellulose, vegetable oil, fish oil, dried plain beet pulp, pork plasma, carrageenan, carob bean gum, sodium silico aluminate, natural flavors, potassium chloride, sodium tripolyphosphate, taurine, guar gum, vitamins [L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), DL-alpha tocopherol acetate (source of vitamin E), niacin supplement, D-calcium pantothenate, biotin, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), riboflavin supplement, thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), vitamin A acetate, folic acid, vitamin B12 supplement, vitamin D3 supplement], calcium carbonate, trace minerals [zinc proteinate, zinc oxide, ferrous sulfate, manganese proteinate, copper sulfate, manganous oxide, sodium selenite, calcium iodate, copper proteinate], choline chloride, sodium carbonate, magnesium oxide, marigold extract (Tagetes erecta L.)
Ingredients are listed heaviest first, and a dog food needs very little salt, so the tail of the list is present in very small amounts.
Wet food is mostly water, so the label’s percentages look small next to kibble. Taking the water out is the only fair way to compare it with other foods.
| NUTRIENT | ON THE LABEL | WATER OUT | WET FOOD MEDIAN |

| PROTEIN | 7.0% | 35.0% | 43.2% |

| CARBS (EST.) | - | 20.0% | - |
Carbohydrate is not on any label: it is what is left after protein, fat, fiber, water and an assumed 2% ash.
