1. Best Dog Treats for Yorkies
Believe me when I tell you that our Yorkies have tried many different types of treats over the years, but we always end up coming back to same ones they’ve been eating for years.
Full Moon All Natural Human Grade Dog Treats
We give our girls beef instead of chicken because it’s easier on their stomach. Here are links to the three treats Mila and Peaches like best:
So which one is the best? Well, that depends on who you ask. Mila loves the jerky tenders. Peaches prefers the savory sticks. They both like the savory bites and they are also great for hiding a pill in the middle of it. If ya know, ya know.
2. Best Dog Bed for Yorkies
You know those cute pink beds that are perfect for a bougie little Yorkie? Well, we got a couple of those, but they will not sleep on them. So we put it by the window so instead of using it as a bed, they actually use it as a ladder to get into the window.
You win some, you lose some.
We should have never turned our back on our old reliable bed. It’s never failed us. Peaches and Mila love these beds.
Aren’t they too cute?

3. Best Dog Stairs for Yorkies
Our little doggies have a full-access pass to the couch, bed and whatever else they want to get on. They’re too small to get on the couch or bed on their own, so instead of having to pick them up all the time we got them actual stairs so they can get on and off themselves.
If this sounds crazy to you, it did to me as well. Until I picked Peaches up and put her on the couch about 20 times in an afternoon.
Here are our favorite doggie stairs.
4. Best Disposable Pee Pads for Yorkies
Once upon a time I said there’s no way on earth we are putting pee pad downs in my place of residence. Funny how things can change.
Unfortunately these little doggies have little bladders and aren’t always able to hold whenever we leave for 3-4 hours. When we leave just lay a couple of them down.
These are the pee pads we believe are the best combination of quality and value.
5. Best Reusable Pee Pads for Yorkies
Yep, that’s right. Two of our ten items are pee pads. If your Yorkie is completely housebroken, we’d love to hear how you made that happen.
We put these by the bed (at the bottom of their doggie stairs) and it’s much better wake up to pee on this than a soaked carpet.
Here are our favorite reusable pee pads.
6. Best Dog Car Seats for Yorkies
If you’ve taken your five pound friend for some car rides, you know they can’t just be roaming freely. These car seats do a great job of keeping our furbabies secure and safe while they go on adventures with us.
Here is the dog car seat we use.
7. Best Water Fountain For Yorkies
We’ve had several water fountains for our bougie little best friends over the years and this water fountain has been the best combination of a nice sized tank, durability and easy access for our vertically challenged pups.

8. Best Spot Remover for Pet Stains
I hope you don’t need one of these, but unfortunately we do. If you’ve ever struggled to get pet stains out of your carpet, I recommend you get a Bissell SpotClean Pet Pro Portable Carpet Cleaner.
I dread getting that thing out, but it does a heck of a job getting those nasty stains out of your carpet.
9. Best Dog Fence for Small Dogs
If you have a fenced in yard, we envy you. But if you don’t this little fence does a great job giving your Yorkies some area to roam without having them on a leash or tied up. It only takes a few minutes to put assemble it and our little Yorkies are able to get in and out of the fenced in area on their own when the gate is open.

10. Best Dog Food for Yorkies
Remember, this is only our recommendation. Seek a vets advice before making any changes to your Yorkie’s diet.
We have tried many different dry dog foods over the years, but the best one for us is Hill’s Science Diet Adult Sensitive Stomach and Skin. This is specific to our girlies because they have sensitive skin and stomacs. Makes sense, right?
What makes it the best for our girls? Well, for one, they don’t get tired of as they have with every other food. Also, it keeps their stools solid and they seem to be happy and healthy since we put them on it.
