We’ll talk about what should be in a yorkies diet, how you can make homemade dog food for them, how much they should eat everyday, and more. You’ll also find links to other informative posts on this site that will help you with anything else related to your little pup!
What should be in a yorkies diet?
Almost any food can make good homemade dog food for yorkies. But, you want to look at the ingredients and do some research before committing to anything too specific. You’ll want:
Mostly protein from meat or fish (chicken is most popular) – this is the most important ingredient
Some vegetables and fruits for vitamins and minerals – keep this to a minimum, though. Too much will make them gassy!
A little bit of carbs from rice or potatoes – again, no more than necessary to avoid diarrhea.
Beans are great for homemade dog food because they’re full of protein but also fiber, which helps with constipation
How do you make homemade dog food for yorkies?
There are lots of ways to go about this. Some people prefer a raw diet like the BARF diet and invest in a grinder, others will want something that can be made quickly without too much work.
How much should yorkies eat everyday?
This completely depends on the size of your dog! For example, a small Yorkie will need around 100 grams of food per day. This is about how many calories they need to stay healthy and happy so it’s just about right for their weight too. A large Yorkie will need about 300 grams of food per day.
What foods should yorkies avoid?
Some common foods to avoid with Yorkies are onions, grapes, chocolate and xylitol – it’s especially important to keep these items away from them because they’re small enough to eat a whole onion or grape in one go and the consequences of these items are really severe.
What should be in a yorkies diet?
Yorkies need to eat about 300 calories per day (they’re not big dogs, so they don’t put on weight easily). They also require lots of vitamin D for their skin and hair coat – this is essential for them! You can add some egg yolk or a teaspoon of butter to the food if you don’t want them on their own.
Best recipe for homemade dog food:
200g of dried rice
100g of beef mince or lamb for meat protein (lamb is more popular with Yorkies)
400g of low-fat chicken stock
Salt and pepper to taste.
