I'm a big fan of Wellness. I've never fed Purina. There's been many of great dogs of the past & present that have done great on it. I feel we are over stimulated by the marketing & have bought into the "human ingredient" theory that dogs just do not need.

As far as cooking for a yorkie, a puppy especially. Well, there are many vitamins & nutrients missing. Which is better or worst? I cannot say. If one is to cook, there must be topped w/ supplements. So the question is, how long is the cooked meal?

I know this goes against the other posts supporting comments. But it's a healthy puppy that has a lot of needs. Dog food companies for better & worst studies these things and again, there is a prove record of years & years of successes. What did Cede Higgins eat? There's breed after breed. I hate corn & all of the other junk. But, what do you do? I will say. I know that Purina One is better than the others. Pro Plan has many believers. I don't feed either. But I don't feel a home a puppy will thrive on home cooked chicken & rice alone. They will love it. But they need more for more than a couple of days.
Kudus to you for caring so much about your yorkie!

It's never easy.
