For keeping food fresh
The food storage kit
A Yorkie eats so slowly through a bag or can that food can go stale or lose its appeal before it's gone.
Because small dogs eat little, a bag of kibble or a case of cans lingers a long time. Good storage keeps that food smelling fresh, which also keeps a picky Yorkie interested.
An airtight container protects opened kibble from air and moisture, can lids seal wet-food leftovers, reusable labels track the open date so nothing sits too long, and a freezer tray lets you portion soft extras to thaw as needed.
What to buy — and why
Airtight food container
Why it helps: Keeps kibble fresh and portions consistent between refills.
Watch for: A truly sealing lid and a size matched to a small bag of food — a huge bin means kibble sits open to air for months.
Skip it if: You buy tiny bags and finish them within a couple of weeks, so freshness isn't a worry yet.
Pet food can lids
Why it helps: Seal a half-used can so the second half is still fresh tomorrow.
Watch for: A snug lid that fits your can size and actually seals — an open can dries out and picks up fridge smells fast.
Skip it if: You use small cans or trays in one sitting, so nothing is ever left to cover.
Food storage labels
Why it helps: Note the open date on a bag or container so nothing goes stale unnoticed.
Watch for: Reusable, wipe-clean labels so you can note the open date and portion on bins and trays at a glance.
Skip it if: You already track freshness some other way and never lose the scoop or the date.
Silicone freezer trays
Why it helps: Portion homemade toppers into single servings and freeze the rest.
Watch for: A silicone tray with small wells sized to a Yorkie's portion, so you can freeze single servings of topper or broth.
Skip it if: You use fresh extras within a day or two and don't need to portion anything ahead.

Questions before you buy
Should I keep kibble in the bag or an airtight container?
The bag helps, but each reopening lets in air that dulls the smell and flavor a picky Yorkie cares about. Many owners keep the food in its original bag and set the whole bag inside an airtight container for the best of both.
How do I keep track of freshness?
Reusable labels let you note the open date on bins, cans, and trays, so you always know how long something has been open. It's a small habit that keeps you from serving food that's past its best.
