Yorkies are small dogs that require lots of nutrients. For optimal nutrition, choose food with high protein levels and an even distribution of carbs, fats and vitamins and minerals.
Homemade food for your dog can be both healthier and tastier than its store-bought counterpart, as it doesn’t contain fillers, by-products and artificial additives that could otherwise compromise his wellbeing. Options available to you include fresh, raw and freeze-dried options along with canned meals like The Farmer’s Dog.
