After deciding the food, I strongly recommend adding a probiotic for digestion. Yorkies tend to have sensitive stomachs. Good luck!

My baby didn’t really have a diet. I gave her healthy vegetables, and chicken, and beef at times. Phoebe lived a great life. She was 14 when she crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

I use Fromm and my Yorkies and other breeds do very well. Yes, more $$ but I don’t pay a lot in vet bills for health issues.

My Yorkie has been on Taste of the Wild since she was a puppy. That is what the breeder fed her. She is almost 11 1/2 and is active and eats well. It is a dry food in a small kibble. She loves it! We also had a Yorkie who passed away a couple of years ago who also ate TOTW, and he was one month shy of his 17th birthday when he passed away.

I fed my yorkie Science Diet until I finally figured out, she has a sensitivity to chicken. So, I switched to Canidae Salmon. Her scratching and stomach issues are almost non existent. She loves it. Her coat is shinny and she is much healthier.

I have used Blue Buffalo since puppy and she is 7 healthy and no issues! I know some conflicting reports but we have had no issues! Hard food is better for their teeth also. Good luck!

Pepper liked pedigree. Favorite was beef and sometimes I would mix it with hard food. Can’t remember the dog food, help him to keep a little weight on him. Plus the hard food was good for his teeth, just mixed little hard food. He liked it, always kept a little out for him till he got older.

Hello! I’m an RVT in California and have been working in veterinary medicine for 8+ years now and LOVEEEE Royal Canin Yorkie blend. Yorkie are by far my favorite breed and I recommend the breed specific diets all the time. If I wasn’t going to do the breed specific diet, I also LOVE and swear by Hills Science Diet. My current dog is on their sensitive skin/stomach formula.

I used Eukanuba softened, with a small amount of cottage cheese and turkey baby food. This is what the breeder of my first baby told me to do.

The more natural the better. I’d avoid all kibble. I’m on freshpet, works great for tear stains, nutrients, and actually appealing to the dog. A raw diet is another good alternative if your dog is willing to eat it.

I switched from Blue Buffalo to Merrick. I would recommend either. I feed my 15 y/o Yorkie Blue for 14 years. Got a rescue that didn’t like Blue. Transition them both to Merrick. Both are flourishing. Healthy poops and coat is shines and thick. No allergies so far.

I’m not sure about dog food, but I am sure that cooking chicken fresh every other day for my dog has worked. He’s 16 years old. He can’t hear and he’s got Cataracts, but he runs up to the dog walk. He sleeps all night and he’s very healthy he’s never been overweight and he’s so sweet as can be. I didn’t know how I was going to do it but for 16 years I have cooked chicken for him every other day so he has fresh now I have to grind it because he hasn’t got many teeth left
