As you probably already know your baby was a bit to young to be taken from her mother and siblings but with lots of tender love and care I am sure she will do just fine. Here in Texas it is against the law to sell pups before they are 8 weeks old. You will find a wide range of answers to your question. I have raised yorkies for over 17 years and I have always free fed my yorkies. They always have dry food available and twice a day they get dry food mixed with a little canned food.

As to answering you question, yes, you need to mix the two different foods and change her over slowly. How much does your puppy currently weigh? For my tinier pups I like to grind the dry food in a blender a little, they really like it that way. Also you can soak a little food in warm water for a variety. I would recommend you have food available for her during the night until she is much older. Each dog is different to there is no set rule that would apply to all dogs.
