I would do some independent research on dog food brands and the ingredients that each uses and then make an informed decision. Become a label reader and learn the difference between meal and byproducts, and what ingredients should and should not be found in your babies food.
Once you have a good base of background knowledge, you will be able to make a more informed decision.

Now to answer the question about changing vets because she recommended Pedigree. I would not base a decision on that, I would, however find a vet who was experienced with Yorkies and the problems that are common with this tiny breed. Unfortunately, most vets are not nutritionists. My vet told me the classes on canine nutrition in vet school were very limited. It's about the same as expecting your family doctor to be a nutritionist.
