Dry Vs. Canned food
Dry and canned dog foods differ in moisture, texture and calorie density. Either format can be suitable for a Yorkie if the product provides complete and balanced nutrition for the dog’s life stage and health needs. Preference alone does not tell you whether a food is nutritionally adequate.
Look for a nutritional adequacy statement, not a claim that one food format is always best.

Ingredients vary by product. Neither a can nor a bag tells you that the food is mostly soy, meat or any other single ingredient. Read the label and consider nutritional adequacy for your dog.
Ask your veterinarian about a suitable food and daily amount, especially if your Yorkie has health concerns. Do not add supplements simply because a product is described as “enriched.” Cornell explains balanced feeding and common diet mistakes.
