I don't dislike T/D necessarily. I don't dislike Rx foods in general. I've fed them before and I'm about to feed one again. Some of them are truly amazing products and I'm very thankful for all the research that goes into creating them.

Vets make money on things they sell. Yes, some oversell to make a larer profit. Some don't. Some even hate stocking food because they don't get enough return on it.

I highly doubt that T/D would harm your Yorkie. And it almost certainly will help prevent tartar buildup (I believe it's like up to a 39% prevention). There is no doubt that it works.

What I was saying was this. T/D is a prescription diet. You can use it as a preventative and that is fine. I personally would lean toward using it only if my pup actually had a health problem. While the food is fine for adult dogs, I wouldn't be too happy about giving it because I would have to wonder if I'm giving up on good things in a diet for her overall health by only focusing on teeth...

I think if a vet says to feed it, that is fine. It would just be my preference to brush daily and see if there was going to be a problem before making that a permanent diet.
