| What Are Some Healthy People Food Treats for Yorkies? I am wondering if there are "people foods" that are safe for my Teacup Yorkie. I see pumpkin mentioned and was wondering about things I could use instead of treats from the store that have preservatives and additives. Any ideas you could share would be wonderful. Thanks! |

| My yorkie Baxter absolutely loves those baby carrots! He can't eat them fast enough. I think I have heard of people giving theirs peeled apples also. Hope this helps.

| Hi, mine are not teacups but since they were little puppies have always loved white chicken cubed (as previous posted said), Sweet potatoes, apples (no skin), green beans (lightly steamed), blueberries, spinach, cheerios (the plain ones), plain organic yogurt (nothing with artificial sweeteners) and tiny pasta. I usually have these things on hand for my parrot, and make stuff for the dogs at the same time. The sweet potato is a favorite - I make it in the microwave and then let it cool and cube it (no skin) and keep it in a tupperware for them. They love it cold even.

| I give Beckett frozen cut green beans. He plays with them until they thaw and then eats them. It's good for his teething too. |

| Yorkie Treats Little pieces of meat or dried liver,cheese,Cheerios,Nutro Puppy Drumstick, dog biscuits, little pieces of apple and carrot.Of course,everything will have to be little,LOL, The best treats are the fresh ones. Yorkies love a bit of yogurt, a bit of cottage cheese. Dogs love protein and fat. -Madde We are not to feed our yorkies those greenies treats!!!! |
