I supplement this food with dog-friendly people food, such as cooked beef or bison and steamed veggies. This has seemed to work really well for both our dogs (one of which is not a yorkie).
We have "Raw Medallions" here at "Feeder's Supply". I couldn't stand the smell when I tried that and his poop stunk awfully bad, so I took them back. But otherwise, he liked it.

I have tried many different foods to find the right fit for Buttons including Nutro, Science Diet, NV and basically, it has come down to Wellness and Nutro. Both are holistic and very healthy for their coats, skin, less eat infections, and i've noticed a much healthier looking/smelling stool too hehhe. Hope that helps!
Is it possible that your Yorkie has a skin issue not related to food with his itching~? Mine is itching but for other reasons and I need to bathe him in a special soap weekly.
