I understand people enjoy giving these kinds of treats to their dogs, but why risk it, especially on a 4 month old Yorkie?

For every morsel of food that you give your pup, stop and ask: am I treating him or harming him? Am I doing this for his enjoyment or mine?
Welcome from the UK, too! Sorry, it's already been said now, but I was going to suggest he might have had a bit of a sugar rush? I've seen it in my dad!!!

Also, I remember going into a pet shop when we first got Harry, and I was discussing dog foods with the owner. He said "always remember, what is just a little bit of potato chip for him would be equivalent to a whole bag for us - so always ensure that you just give him goodness, as their little tummies fill up so easily" Wise words, I thought!
