Best Nutrition for Yorkie Puppies: Why It Matters from Day One 🌿🐶
Bringing home a Yorkie puppy is such an exciting milestone — and one of the most important things you can do for their long-term health is give them the right nutrition from the very beginning.
Yorkies are small but mighty, with fast metabolisms and delicate digestive systems. The food you choose plays a big role in their growth, coat health, energy, and even behavior.
🍼 Puppy Nutrition 101
Yorkie puppies need:
High-quality protein for growth and muscle development.
Healthy fats (like Omega-3s) for brain development and coat health.
Digestive support since small breeds can have sensitive stomachs.
Balanced vitamins & minerals to support healthy bones and immunity.
🐾 Why I Recommend PawTree
As a breeder who has raised Yorkies since 1999, I’ve tried many foods over the years. I recommend PawTree because:
No corn, wheat, or soy fillers.
Real meat is always the first ingredient.
Formulated with vitamins, minerals, and taurine (essential for heart health).
Customized nutrition profiles for different needs.
💡 Bonus: PawTree foods and supplements have helped my Yorkies maintain shiny coats, healthy digestion, and steady energy — all things Yorkie parents notice and love.
🌟 My Favorite PawTree Picks for Puppies
Chicken & Sweet Potato Puppy Recipe 🥔 – gentle on tummies and packed with nutrients.
Wild Alaskan Salmon & Pollock Oil 🐟 – supports shiny coats and skin health.
Gastro Pro Plus🌱 – helps with digestion during the stress of transitioning to a new home.
🐶 Transitioning to New Food
When your puppy comes home, it’s best to slowly mix their current food with PawTree over 7–10 days to avoid tummy upsets.
Start with 75% old food + 25% PawTree.
Gradually increase PawTree while decreasing the old food.
By the end of the week, your Yorkie should be fully transitioned.
Final Thoughts
Nutrition sets the foundation for your Yorkie’s health, temperament, and longevity. By choosing a high-quality food like PawTree, you’re not just filling their bowl — you’re investing in their future.
