Lots of great advice, I personally don't believe in giving anything besides dog food the first 3 months, so many dog treats are even bad for them. Yorkies have week intestinal systems anyway, and they don't do well on new foods. Allergies won't show up till after a year, but I believe the less variety the first year the better. Lots of human studies show that babies are less likely to develop allergies if their diets are limited the first year. I know you want to show your love through food, most of us do anyway, but it's really not good for your dog. I did use unsweetened Cheerios for training purposes when Joey was about 3 months old, and he had no trouble with them. |
