How old is your pup? I'm assuming it's kibbles you're mixing with the chicken/cheese? If so, have you tried soaking the kibbles in chicken broth before serving?

Yorkies can be very picky eaters so it just might be that she doesn't like the brand you have. I had to go through several different brands/type of food before I found one that was right for my two.

First try sprinkling some powdered Parmesan Cheese on her kibble and mix it around the kibble. Parm cheese is nice and pungent and very attractive to dogs. It may help. Otherwise, you may want to try a different kibble and/or buy some wet canned dog food to mix in w/ her kibble.
