Modern Diet for Teacup Yorkies

The most modern method of feeding teacup yorkies is by the use of a complete food based on vegetable protein.

These foods look similar to biscuit meal but are a complete diet and the teacup yorkie needs only fresh water in addition. Water must be constantly available, as this type of food has the natural water content extracted.

Many generations have lived on this food, and bred well, and have never tasted anything else. The teacup yorkie that is kept as a household pet is apt to get a little choosy; and to cater for this factor, it is possible to add up to 25 percent of meat to the complete diet without spoiling the balance.

The addition of this amount of eggs, meat, or cheese does not increase the nutritional value but it does increase acceptability and keeps up the teacup yorkie’s interest in food.

Eggs, if given, must always be cooked – as raw egg can produce a deficiency of the vitamin biotin, giving dermatitis, hair loss and poor growth.

A small quantity of any of the tinned meats may be added, or the complete feeds may be soaked in chicken broth or vegetable water.

Many puppies are now successfully weaned to complete foods, and if they are kept on this regime, they do exceedingly well and the feeding is a minimal trouble to their owners. No vitamin supplement is necessary.

Adult teacup yorkies are fed twice daily, a small meal in the morning and the larger one about 6 in the evening. Teacup yorkie pups t nine weeks, when they go to their new homes, are on four meals a day, to coincide with human meal times.

As the stomach capacity of the pup increases, meals are dropped until the adult regime is reached at eighteen months, by which time maximum growth will have been achieved in all but the giant breeds.

Dog owners are always very puzzled about the amount of food their dog needs. As a guide, it may be said that a young dog needs a diet based on half ounce of meat to each pound of bodyweight. An adult dog needs one-third ounce of meat each pound of bodyweight.

Based on that guide, it is important to know your teacup yorkie’s bodyweight so as to give him the precise amount of meat he needs in his daily diet.

Simple Ideas for Feeding Your Yorkies Homemade Dog Food

Yorkies are an adorable breed, quite friendly and very loving pets. Here are a set of tips you may use on homemade dog food for yorkies.

Raw feeding is a simple way to go. Just go to your nearest meat shop and ask for ground beef or sawdust. When you get home, have the meat thawed if necessary, serve half or one cup of meat, add a couple of teaspoons of virgin coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, a raw egg (probably once a week) and mix it all up. Serve it as is and see your pet lick the bowl dry.

Another suggestion is to get chicken necks and serve it the same way as mentioned above. Remember, raw bones are ok to be fed to your dogs and cooked chicken bones are the hazardous ones. They become brittle when cooked. As added measure, I chop up the raw chicken bones so that they glide easily into their mouths. Add a raw egg every now and then; you can also crumble the eggshell cause it’s a good source of calcium great for maintaining strong yorkie bones.

One main advantage of preparing homemade dog food for yorkies is that you can easily throw in the tablets, capsules and other forms of supplements or medications for your pet. The tablets will be way far into their stomachs before they notice it was in there.

Are you unsure about bacteria forming in the raw ground meat? If you are, then just boil the meat for about thirty minutes before adding food supplements and serving. You just need some lead time to cool the food down before serving. I’m quite sure, that will kill all your worries about bad bacteria.

Just make sure that when you do home made dog food for yorkies, you have to check for the freshness of the meat you are going to purchase.

Homemade dog food for yorkies is better that getting commercial dog food. Ask yourself, “what exactly is in this can or sack of kibbles?” Sure, the label says it all, the nutrients your dog should be getting. Fact is, how old I wonder is the animal that was placed in that can?

Yorkies given their size really do not consume much. It takes a couple of minutes to prepare their food in the rations they finish. You can even prepare these in ziplock bags and just thaw in the microwave when ready to serve.
