I talk to a lady last week that said she feeds her yorkie hamburger that has been drained of all its grease and a scrambled egg every morning, and got on to me for giving my dog hard food. I have owned 2 dogs in the previous, and have only had bad experiences with giving a dog human food. In my experience, the more human, soft food you give to them, the more they won't eat dog food at all. One of my dogs, that is living with my parents---mom cried for me to let her keep my pekingees Daisy when I got married so I left her with Grandma---won't even eat at all unless she is hand fed, and my mom gives her pedigree prime cuts. And both of their dogs will turn there noses up at it. I don't want that at all.
I heard that they have a special food for Yorkies, I might go and look at that.  |
Yes they do it's made By Royal Canin and is expensive, but high quality. I don't recommend feeding your dog human food. Also, feeding your dog hard food is actually really good for it's teeth. Yorkies have problems with their teeth when they get older so you need to brush them at least once if not more a week, and should feed them dry dog food. you can give them wet food but I only feed mine wet food in the morning and he eats dry kibble the rest of the day.
I feed my yorkie Nutro Natural Choice Puppy Lamb and Rice. It's all natural and meat is the first ingrediant. Plus it has added vitamens and minerals. It's not advertised on tv or anything but its great dog food. any dog food you get your dog should not have corn in it as corn is non digestable, and meat should be the first ingrediant. Always read the label before purchasing. What you are looking for is the first three main ingrediants. this will tell you what the food mainly consist of. for my puppys food it is: Lamb meal, rice meal, and another rice product. there are no by products in their food at all. By products can be anything like Heads, feet and etc. really gross huh? also with wet food, if you read the label the first ingrediant will be with other foods: sufficent water for processing. but with Nutro Natural Choice Lamb and Rice puppy wet food, the label reads like this: Lamb broth, Lamb, and turkey as the first three ingrediants. Tigger poops less , his stools are smaller and solid, and his coat is shiner. I'm not trying to pursuade you at all, I'm just sharing my opinion. best of luck.
