What Morkies need most from their food
A Morkie inherits the needs of two toy breeds:
Tiny portions
Usually 4–8 lb, a Morkie eats well under a cup a day, so the food must be nutrient-dense and measured carefully.
Silky coat
The long, fine coat depends on protein and fatty acids. Fish oil in every Loyal Saints formula provides EPA and DHA, which support normal skin and coat.
Small mouth and teeth
Toy breeds are prone to dental problems. Crumble or soften pieces, and keep up with brushing.
Regular meals
Very small dogs can be prone to low blood sugar, especially as puppies. Feed small, regular meals and ask your vet about timing.
Why freeze-dried raw is right for MorkiesMorkies
Morkies combine the Maltese and the Yorkshire Terrier: two toy breeds with small stomachs, fine coats and definite opinions about food. A nutrient-dense, complete and balanced food lets a tiny portion carry real nutrition.
Loyal Saints puts meat and organs first, adds fish oil for EPA and DHA, and leaves out corn, wheat and soy. The pieces crumble easily for a toy mouth and soften in warm water for picky or senior Morkies.

The standard is King.
Loyal Saints was built because of one dog. King’s digestive sensitivities pushed Kristina Voltin to question the ingredients, processing and nutrition behind every bowl. She formulated a whole-food, freeze-dried raw diet from human-grade quality ingredients — food she felt confident feeding King every day. Every formula is held to that standard: would I feed this to King?
For Morkies owners navigating the same questions Kristina faced — about ingredients, about what’s really in the bag, about whether the food is actually good — Loyal Saints is the answer she built for them.

Turkey + Salmon pairs whole salmon with fish oil for EPA and DHA, which support normal skin and coat.
How long does a bag last for a Morkie?
A 14 oz bag lasts a 6 lb Morkie about ten days as a complete meal, and much longer as a topper.
