Healthy Treats Every Dog Parent Should Know About

Treats are more than just rewards they’re a way to bond, train, and keep your Yorkie happy. But not all treats are created equal. Here’s a roundup of healthy dog treats that support small dog health.

🍎 1. Fresh Fruits

Apples (without seeds), blueberries, and bananas make nutritious, bite-sized snacks for Yorkies.

🥕 2. Crunchy Veggies

Carrots and cucumber slices are low-calorie, great for dental health, and perfect for small bites.

🐟 3. Protein-Packed Treats

Look for single-ingredient treats like freeze-dried salmon or chicken great for training and keeping coats shiny.

🌾 4. Grain-Free Biscuits

Many Yorkies have sensitive tummies. Grain-free treats with sweet potato or pumpkin are gentle and nutritious.

🚫 Treats to Avoid

Chocolate, grapes, onions, and anything with artificial sweeteners (like xylitol) are dangerous for dogs.

👉 Tip: Treats should make up no more than 10% of your Yorkie’s diet. Pair healthy snacks with a balanced food plan for long-term wellness.
