It depends on how much chicken and carrots you’re feeding, if it's over 20% of his daily diet, it's too much and his diet is no longer balanced for a Yorkie. Dogs need a different balance than humans and you can’t use dog food as a supplement unless the rest of the diet is balanced. For example, Yorkies need the equivalent amount of calcium as a grown woman, calcium makes strong bones and teeth, and since carrots and chicken has no calcium you boy may not be getting enough. In a month, there is no harm but longer periods can cause major mal nourishment, and this isn’t always obvious, until it’s too late. If your just adding a tablespoon of chick and carrots, it's no big deal.
