General
The coat of a Yorkshire Terrier is unique to the canine species. One special difference between the Yorkshire Terrier and other canine breeds is that it does not have an undercoat. A single hair sprouts from each hair follicle, whereas in other breeds there are usually 3 to 5 hairs. This makes the Yorkshire Terrier more susceptible than other small dog breeds to adverse environmental factors such as extremes of temperature and urban pollution.
The special physiology of the Yorkshire Terrier, such as its exceptional coat, fiery temperament and trusty nature make it a very unusual breed that needs special attention, especially in terms of its nutrition.
Tartar Control - Promotes Healthy Teeth and Good Oral Hygiene. The Yorkshire Terrier is especially prone to tartar and dental plaque formation. These phenomena can be very painful and in extreme cases can lead to teeth becoming loose or falling out. Specially designed kibbles may help in the everyday maintenance of good tooth and mouth hygiene. The texture and shape of the kibbles have been specifically designed to encourage the dog to chew thus providing a tooth cleansing action for the Yorkshire Terrier.
Long Coat Condition - Healthy Skin and a Beautiful Coat for the Yorkshire Terrier Adult. The Yorkshire Terrier is known and appreciated for the silkiness, gloss and length of its coat. Coat quality can be directly related to diet and a specially formulated food may help to prevent brittle, dry, greasy or dull hair and itchy skin. Borage Oil (from the borage herb) and Salmon Oil, as sources of omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids are combined with Biotin (a B vitamin), to help maintain a silky coat and a skin in full health.
Exceptional Taste - Encourage the delicate appetite of the Yorkshire Terrier Adult. Whether they are truly sensitive or just a little fussy, some Yorkshire Terriers may not enjoy and even sometimes refuse to eat their food. To restore their desire to eat, a food in the form of soft kibbles, suited to their jaws and with intense flavors may prove to be essential. Exceptionally tasty because of exclusive natural flavors and a selection of very high quality ingredients, like Chicken and Salmon Meal.
• Recommended for adult Yorkshire Terriers over 10 months of age.
