Some Shocking Facts About Feeding Yorkies

A great article about feeding toy breeds raw;

Myths About Raw: Can toy breeds and small dogs eat a raw diet?

I appreciate the insight and opinions
I think it is because it is too messy for Yorkies and their long beards.

I don't think anyone believes a Yorkie is too delicate to eat meat (unless there is a health problem that precludes it). Chicken is a very popular treat among Yorkie parents. (plus, we all know Yorkies are feisty and like to kill things, especially their toys)

Yorkies are predisposed to liver and digestive problems, so diet concerns differ from those associated with larger breeds. Plus, it is easier to make a small dog sick faster than a large dog.

The type of person who chooses a Yorkie may be less likely to try PMR than a person who chooses a larger breed. Hard to say. Lots of people here have both small and large dogs. PMR is a lot of work and may not suit their lifestyles.
