* Digestive System: Puppies have sensitive digestive systems, and fruits can cause upset stomachs, diarrhea, or gas.
* Sugar Content: Many fruits are high in sugar, which can lead to weight gain and dental problems in puppies.
* Choking Hazards: Small fruits like grapes and raisins can be choking hazards for puppies.
* Potential Toxicity: Some fruits like avocados, onions, and garlic are toxic to dogs.
Instead of fruit, focus on a high-quality puppy food and treats formulated specifically for their age and breed. You can also give them small amounts of cooked, plain vegetables like carrots, green beans, or sweet potatoes.
Always consult your veterinarian before introducing new foods to your puppy. They can advise you on what's safe and appropriate for your Yorkie's age and health.
