I read that fruit was dangerous for yorkies...I thought it was very strange what I read. I mean how can fruit be dangerous? But the article said fruits (apples, cherries, peaches and other fruit) contain cyanide. I think maybe they just meant the seeds and core-pit, which I obviously wouldn't give to my little girl.
One fruit you should NEVER give your yorkie is grapes. Don't give raisins either. When I give Rio apples, I never give the core or seeds, just the flesh (and I peel the apple too). I only give her fresh baby carrots cut up in tiny pieces, not frozen. And all the fruits and veggies are just treats. I've read that "treats" should make up less than 10% of your Yorkie's total diet.
