Yorkies may be tiny, but when it comes to food, they’re surprisingly sensitive.
If you live with a Yorkshire Terrier, you’ve probably noticed how quickly they react to changes in diet. One ingredient doesn’t sit right, and suddenly there’s a skipped meal, a soft stomach, or a very unimpressed look. That’s why so many Yorkie owners turn to homemade dog meals for yorkie not because it’s trendy, but because it feels safer and more intentional.
Homemade meals allow you to control ingredients, texture, and portion size, all of which matter a lot for a small breed like a Yorkie.
Yorkies have:
Small stomachs
Sensitive digestion
Tiny teeth that prefer soft food
Commercial food isn’t always designed with that in mind. Homemade dog meals for yorkie make it easier to:
Use gentle, easy-to-digest ingredients
Keep portions small and fresh
Adjust texture so meals are soft and moist
Avoid unnecessary fillers and additives
Simple food often works best.
Yes — cow liver dog treats are safe when fed in moderation
Like all liver, cow liver is high in vitamin A. That’s great in small amounts, but it’s why liver should stay in the “treat” category, not be fed as a daily meal.

This recipe is designed to be soft, mild, and suitable for everyday feeding.
200 g ground chicken or turkey (lean)
½ cup cooked white rice
½ cup sweet potato, peeled and diced small
¼ cup carrots, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
Water as needed
Optional gentle add-ins:
Pumpkin purée (plain, unsweetened)
Zucchini, finely chopped
⚠️ Always avoid salt, spices, garlic, onions, and seasoning.
In a pan, cook the ground meat fully, breaking it into small pieces
Add sweet potato, carrots, and a small splash of water
Simmer on low heat for 15–20 minutes, until vegetables are completely soft
Stir in the cooked rice and olive oil
Mix well and let cool fully before serving
The final texture should be soft, moist, and easy to chew, perfect for small mouths.
Yorkies do best with small portions, served consistently.
