Yorkshire Terrier + Pizza

Caution — requires monitoring.

The verdict

For a 6lb Yorkshire Terrier, even a small amount of pizza containing ingredients like onion, garlic, excessive cheese, or salt can be problematic due to their small body mass and potential sensitivity. These ingredients can lead to gastrointestinal upset and, in the case of onion/garlic, red blood cell damage, making close monitoring essential for such a tiny breed.

Watch for these signs (next 12 hours)

  • Vomiting or diarrhea
  • Lethargy or weakness
  • Pale gums

Recommended next steps

Contact your veterinarian immediately for advice, as a 6lb dog can quickly become dehydrated or show more severe symptoms. Monitor your Yorkshire Terrier closely for any of the listed symptoms and ensure they have access to fresh water, but do not offer additional food until advised by your vet.
