That depends. Not all dogs will react to high fat foods. Yorkies tend to be one of the breeds that do. Also, what foods may look okay when taking the minimum fat % into consideration may not look okay when finding out the maximum %. Your pup's doctor would be able to give you a fat range that they are comfortable with. Make sure to convery wet/raw foods to dry matter (the fat % on the package is not the true fat % that they are getting - they are getting much more when not taking the weight of water in the food into consideration - so if a food says it's 18% fat, it could be several % higher...).
