Feeding and Water

Feeding your Yorkie is a very special step and should be approached according to your and your dog's needs.

There's two kinds of Yorkies:

• Normal house dogs
• Show dogs

 If all you want is a normal but happy house dog, you can be a bit more lenient on the diet of your Yorkie. Standard, good quality doig pellets for mid to smaller dogs should suffice, but I prefer to add to their diet.

Because Yorkies are so intelligent, they get bored with their normal diet - so try and change it as often as possible. We like to add fresh:

Rice
Meat
Chicken
Chicken liver
Cooked vegetables - carrots, potato (in small quantities)

We add the extra food in a 1:2 ratio. You can also add a little hot water and leave the pellets to soften slightly which will make them easier to eat for puppees.
