For at least two weeks keep feeding your Yorkie puppy the same food that the breeder used and then slowly start mixing it with your new dog food. Feed your dog at least three to four times a day and then add a bit of warm water if your dog isn't eating. You also want to keep up a proper grooming schedule that includes checking the ears and clipping the nails.
