Biotin for the coat, triphosphate for the teeth. Both breed problems.
Yorkies have two well-known problems and this food addresses both. The coat needs continuous support because it grows continuously — biotin at 3 mg/kg, omega-6 at 33.7 g/kg, omega-3 at 7.5 g/kg with 3 g/kg of that EPA and DHA, and borage oil. Stop feeding for it and you see the difference within a couple of months.
The teeth are the other. Toy breeds carry a full set in a tiny jaw and Yorkies are among the worst affected — pentasodium triphosphate at 3.5 g/kg binds salivary calcium before it can harden into tartar, and the kibble shape encourages chewing. Glucosamine and chondroitin support a frame prone to luxating patella, and the aroma is built for a breed that can be maddeningly particular about food. For dogs from ten months.

Store in a cool, dry place, sealed. Use within six weeks; a 7.5 kg bag will not stay fresh for a 3 kg dog, so buy the size you'll finish. Brush her daily and keep the coat either long and properly maintained or clipped short — a half-managed Yorkie coat mats against the skin and is miserable for her. Give the coat food two months before judging it. Yearly dental checks.

A guide, not a rule. Two meals, fed dry — soaking removes the dental effect. Fresh water, always.
