Ingredient Wiki
Brewers Rice

Chicken Fat
Fat rendered from chicken tissue, used as an energy source and to make the food more appealing.

A rice-based recipe in a toy-sized kibble
Signature feature
Tailor-made kibble
Kibbles designed for your Yorkshire Terrier
What it is The kibble itself, a small rounded piece sized for a Yorkie's tiny jaw. The shape is the feature; the recipe inside is a standard rice and chicken base.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Toy dogs do pick up and chew small pieces more easily, and Yorkies build tartar fast. But every small-breed kibble is sized down, so this is good practice sold as a breed secret.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Two rices outrank the chicken, and wheat gluten and corn gluten meal, fifth and sixth, prop up the protein with plant sources.
- 1 Brewers rice
- 2 brown rice
- 5 wheat gluten

-
Is it a high-protein food?
No
Rice leads and plant glutens supply part of the protein, which lands slightly below the average dry food we list. Fine for a lapdog, not an athlete.
-
Is a cup a normal cup?
No, it's light
About 15% fewer calories per cup than the average dry food we list. Coming from a denser food, follow the feeding table, not your old scoop.
- Feed it to
- Adult Yorkies and other toy dogs over 10 months that do well on rice and chicken.
- Skip it for
- Puppies under 10 months, dogs allergic to chicken, wheat or corn, and owners who want meat ahead of grains.
