| To be safe for the long term, no seasoning at all. If you begin homecooking, it is usually preferred to boil the chicken. Fresh, steamed veggies (no butter or anything) are also very good, along with sweet potato (sliced and steamed) and rice. What your vet said is very confusing as Yorkies do not have an undercoat - and they have hair not fur......

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Does the Science Diet you're feeding have chicken in it? Bc if it does, and he has a food allergy to it, it could very well get worse. You might want to think about a more pure meat like duck, venison, fish, or rabbit.
