What can Yorkies Eat from Human Food?

You can Prepare your Own Food for your Yorkie:

Dairy products:

Use caution with dairy products, they are high in fat and can cause pancreatitis, gas and diarrhea.

Meats:

Do not over cook the meat. Raw meat is very good for sick dogs. Raw and cooked diets should not be mixed at the same meal as they digest differently.

Vegetables:

Dogs have a shorter digestive tract than humans and cannot digest most vegetables whole or in large chunks. It is best to put them through a food processor before giving them to your dog.

Grains:

Grains should not be given in large amounts or make up a large part of a dog’s diet, but these foods are generally fine in small amounts.
