To the best of my knowledge, PetCoach does not employ a nutritionist and mainly employs general practitioners. I will try to help however! The food I recommend is Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrier Puppy: https://www.royalcanin.com/us/dogs/products/retail-products/yorkshire-terrier-puppy-dry-dog-food I agree that her eye does look irritated. See what happens when you switch the food. If she continues to have the problem, or if it remains chronic instead of going away, discuss a food trial with a hydrolyzed protein with your veterinarian. That's the best way to rule out a food allergy. I hope this helps.
