The Best Treats for Teacup Yorkies in Los Angeles
Safe, healthy, and perfectly sized treats your tiny Yorkie will love.
Treats are an important tool for training, bonding, and rewarding your Teacup Yorkie. Choosing the right ones matters more for a tiny 3 to 4 pound dog than for a larger breed. Treats go hand in hand with our guides on teaching your Yorkie tricks and potty training in an LA apartment.
Size matters
Always Choose Tiny Treats for a Tiny Dog
For a Teacup Yorkie, treat size is critical. Any treat should be no bigger than your pinky fingernail — or broken into that size before giving it. Large treats not only pose a choking risk but also add too many calories to a tiny dog’s daily intake. Keep treats to no more than 10 percent of your Yorkie’s daily calories. For full feeding guidance, read our complete Teacup Yorkie feeding guide.

Treats to avoid
Treats to Avoid for Teacup Yorkies
Never give your Teacup Yorkie rawhide chews, large bully sticks, or any hard treat that could splinter. Avoid peanut butter containing xylitol. Skip treats with artificial colors, corn syrup, or long ingredient lists of preservatives. Grapes, raisins, chocolate, and macadamia nuts are toxic to all dogs.
