I've done tons of research on dog foods, and I don't remember ever seeing anyone say that this food caused dogs to be overweight. (I didn't search this forum for it because at the time, I didn't know this forum existed, but I looked at tons of veterinary and user reviews before I settled on a permanent food.) The only thing I've seen regarding weight is that dogs that were underweight to begin with gained up to ideal weight. You're obviously concerned about feeding the right food, and more pet owners should be like that. I see WAY too many feeding stuff like Dog Chow. I've even met breeders who do that, and needless to say, I've never bought a dog from any of them. Do some research and find one you feel good about.
Just so you'll know the potential cons of Evo, the only three I've consistently seen is that it can cause gas, it has a strong odor, and it's too expensive. I have four dogs on it, and I haven't seen the problem with gas. I never understood the complaints about the food having a strong odor. I can't even smell it unless I stick my nose right in the bowl (which I did only because I saw complaints of a strong odor, not because it's something I'm in the habit of doing). I had already mentioned the part about it being expensive, and I guess if you were feeding a Great Dane that could be a problem. However, since Yorkies typically just nibble off and on and eat so little overall, I've never found the cost to be an issue.
Best wishes,
