You are correct that some seasonings are used in dog foods and treats, in very small amounts. Read the ingredients on any dog food bag and you will see a bunch.
Garlic is confusing because it is listed as toxic to dogs, but it is used in food and treats and trainer Victoria Stilwell cooks with it.
Yorkies are not nearly as tolerant as larger dogs when it comes to food. Some are even more sensitive than others. Things like pancreatitis can smoulder for a year or more before blowing up. A yorkie may appear to tolerate certain foods for a long time and then, boom!
I know it is fun to see them excited about food, but it is definitely more fun to see them healthy and active.
Lots of people homecook for their doggies. I recommend meeting at least once with a doggy nutritionist to learn more about food if you are interested.
