I'm going to be a real killjoy, and say that food isn't a good way to give your dog’s something special. I know humans love to share food to show love, but yorkies are really known for having digestive difficulties and switching their diets could cause them pain and even pancreatitis. Dogs don't think about food the way humans do. Please consider showing love in some other way. A really good walk, or some type of activity that they enjoy.

Foods that wouldn't hurt would include a few thawed frozen green beans, or maybe a little sweet potato, or a tablespoon of unsweetened canned pumpkin. Some people give a little white meat turkey, but no skin because there is too much fat. No gravy under any circumstances, but if you have broth with no fat or salt this wouldn't hurt poured over their dry food. I would only give one or two new things and very small amounts if it's the first time.

Happy Thanksgiving!
