| Am I Feeding Too Much? My yorkie is 3 months old, around 3lbs. I give her 2 tablespoons of Natural Balance, 3 times a day (total of 6 tablespoons). Is that too much food for her? She seems to "inhale" her food and looks for more afterwards. Yet, my vet tells me she's a little overweight. Should I cut out one more tablespoon? |

| Are you talking about the Natural Balance Meat roll? or canned, or dry? If it is the meat roll, that stuff is VERY fattening. Great for pups that won't eat anything else but I would try getting her to eat dry puppy food. |

| She eats the dry food. I only use the wet food as treat. |

| Maybe if you cut out your treat( wet food) and give her mini carrots or brocolli for a treat is might be better. At her age her tummy is so small that it doesn't take much to fill it up and she might act hungry looking for the lucious treat. Feeding 3 times a day is a very good idea until pups are older.

| on second thought the mini carrots might be too hard for to eat but give it a try.
