Puppy Care

At Pam's Precious Yorkies, we are committed to giving our puppies the healthiest possible start in life, and that begins with proper nutrition. We proudly recommend Life’s Abundance as our go-to food for all of our Yorkie puppies. This premium brand offers balanced, nutrient-rich formulas made with high-quality ingredients and without harmful fillers or artificial preservatives. Puppies should be fed Life’s Abundance Pork & Venison canned food twice daily, in the morning and evening. In addition, we suggest leaving out Life’s Abundance “All Life Stages” dry kibble at all times so the puppy can nibble throughout the day as needed. Clean, fresh water should also be available 24/7 to keep your puppy well hydrated. Life’s Abundance also offers a line of healthy treats and supplements, which can be introduced slowly and given in moderation. Please avoid giving any rawhide or table food, as these can cause digestive issues or long-term health problems in Yorkies.

It’s also important to know that Yorkies are especially prone to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), particularly when they are young, stressed, or missing meals. For this reason, it’s essential that your puppy eats regularly throughout the day. Signs of hypoglycemia may include unusual tiredness, shakiness, confusion, weakness, or even seizures. If you notice any of these symptoms, rub a small amount of honey or Karo syrup on your puppy’s gums and seek immediate veterinary care. Staying on top of your puppy’s nutrition not only supports healthy growth, but also helps prevent common health risks. Following these guidelines will ensure that your Yorkie grows strong, energetic, and ready to thrive in their new home.
