Teacup Yorkie Care: Mealtime

By Boosley Smithe

With so many fine dog food products on the market today, there are many foods designed especially for teacup yorkies. Because of this fact, any caring owner may consider trying some of these specialty dog foods. However, owners should also be advised that the secret to the best dog food lies not only in the food, but also in the care surrounding feeding.

Take advantage of your teacup Yorkie's feedings. Be there for your pet. If you have the time, spend it with your yorkie to encourage proper eating habits.

Many kinds of dog food exist; the main categories are canned, bagged, and prepackaged (plastic containers such as the Caesar brand). Most teacup yorkies' owners find they prefer one form of food over another. Additionally, types of dog food may be mixed and matched.

Add a little panache to your pet's meal. After all, they are a special cuddly creature; anyone who has ever spent much time with this breed would agree. Incorporate pizzazz by creating easy but special variations to your yorkie's diet.

Feeder bins are used by many kennel owners as well as pet owners. These devices help to conveniently store and distribute dry foods in a sanitary, efficient way. Bins also benefit the end user, the teacup yorkie, by getting a meal prepared quickly and tend to be fresher.

Changing a yorkie's diet too quickly will lead to stomach problems or diarrhea. Please be advised to never switch a dog's food too soon. Make small changes, varying ratios of the old to new food slowly over time.

A varied, well-balanced diet will ensure yours as well as your teacup yorkie's health and happiness. Such a meal will supply the proper amounts of protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins, minerals, and water. These features are important in keeping your pet healthy and to guarantee his normal development.

Adjustments to a teacup yorkies' diet may need to be made. Be sure to check with your pet's healthcare provider. Under your veterinarian's supervision such changes may be made according to the individual puppy, his rate of growth, his activity level, and so on. - 31845
