Feeding a Yorkshire Terrier: the honest notes
🐾
Small stomachs mean low blood-sugar reserves: 3–4 small meals a day beats one big one, especially for puppies.
🐾
Yorkies are famously picky — warming food slightly or adding a spoon of wet food often beats switching brands.
🐾
Their size makes precision easy: weigh portions on a kitchen scale; one extra treat is 10% of the day.
These are breed tendencies, not a prescription. For the actual amount, the calculator uses your pet's real body weight and life stage — the same veterinary formula vets use.
