Everything for the pantry of a 3.2 kg Yorkie.

Sammy weighs less than a bag of flour. Every gram counts — in his body composition, in his calorie budget, and in the quality of what goes into that small, opinionated frame. Feeding a 3.2 kg dog well requires more attention than feeding a larger one, because the margin for error is proportionally smaller.

The most common mistake I see is standard kibble. The pieces are literally too large for a Yorkie’s molars. Small-breed formulations exist for a reason: smaller, denser kibble that a tiny jaw can actually chew rather than swallow whole. Beyond that, ingredient quality matters more for a dog who eats 80 grams a day than for one who eats 400.

These departments cover everything from dry food to supplements. Treats get their own section because they deserve one — Sammy’s daily calorie ceiling is around 200 calories, and two large biscuits will eat most of it. The training treats department has the options I use: small, soft, single-ingredient, and breakable into thirds.
