Brit Care Mini GF Yorkshire, 7 kg is a grain-free hypoallergenic dry food from the Czech brand Brit, developed for Yorkshire Terriers. It's fish-based: 20% dried salmon, 15% fresh salmon protein and 15% dried tuna. Its standout feature is very high omega-3 (2.3%) from fish, linseed and salmon oil — what a Yorkie's long coat needs for shine and healthy skin. It has 30% protein, 19% fat and 391 kcal per 100 g, plus glucosamine and chondroitin for joints, prebiotics, blueberries and brown seaweed.

Pros
- Fish-based. Salmon and tuna suit dogs that don't tolerate chicken or beef well.
- Very high omega-3. 2.3% for a shiny coat and healthy skin.
- Grain-free. Gentler on a sensitive stomach.
- For joints. Glucosamine and chondroitin — Yorkies are prone to kneecap problems.
- Small kibble. Sized for a small mouth.
Cons and what to keep in mind
- Big bag. A 2–3 kg Yorkie will take months to finish 7 kg, so storage matters.
- Contains chicken fat. Relevant with a strict chicken allergy.
- Fishy smell. Not every owner or dog likes it.
- Calorie-dense. Weigh portions for a less active Yorkie.
Storing a big bag
Fish-based food rich in omega-3 oxidises faster in air. Decant a 1–2 week supply into a small airtight container, seal the bag tightly with a clip and keep it somewhere cool, dry and out of the sun. Don't pour the whole bag into a plastic bin — it's better to put the food in its original bag inside the bin. More in how to store dry food.
Yorkie coat and dental care
Omega-3 food helps the coat from the inside, but a Yorkie's long coat still needs daily brushing and a bath with mild shampoo and conditioner every 1–2 weeks. More in dog coat care at home. Yorkies develop tartar early, so teeth need regular cleaning — see how to brush a dog's and cat's teeth.
Fish or lamb for a Yorkie
If your dog likes fish and coat shine matters, Yorkshire is an excellent choice. If your Yorkie reacts to fish or dislikes it, a general toy-breed lamb food works — see our Brit Care Mini Adult Lamb review. How to choose food for small dogs — see food for small breeds.
Who it suits
Adult Yorkshire Terriers and other small long-haired dogs, especially with a dull coat, sensitive skin or reactions to chicken or beef. Other foods are in dry dog food.
Verdict
Brit Care Mini GF Yorkshire is a grain-free fish food for Yorkies with very high omega-3, joint support and small kibble. The key is storing the big bag properly and noting the chicken fat with a strict allergy.
