Just curious how much of you free feed your yorkies or give them a certain amount each day...

lily's mom · 08-25-2005, 03:17 PM

I free feed but may be I shouldn't because she is a chunky monkey.

jesscruz · 08-25-2005, 03:18 PM

i have food down for him 24/7 he loves it!!!!!

StewiesMom · 08-25-2005, 03:30 PM

I free feed Stewie, but he only eats twice a day.

I feed Chloe 4 times a day. Only a tiny handfull. She is so active, I don't want her blood sugar to drop. I feed her Natural Choice Ultra Puppy Food and she loves it. I also give her Nutrical once a day.

I currently free feed, but I may soon rethink that as Teddy
is starting to look like a Porky Yorkie. I was shocked at last
weigh in when the scales tipped out at 9 pounds!

I was free feeding Deegan until the vet found out, and then he started to eat alot (during his growth spurt). Now I feed him 1/3 cup twice a day. Somethimes he eats it all sometimes he doesn't. I might start to try and free feed him again though. As long as he isn't stuffing his face.

I have kibble down for her at all times, but I give wet food once a day for dinner.

lexi eats twice a day, morning and evening around 530. she get
a fewtreat inbetween when mom stops by to check on her.

Mydogkelsey · 09-19-2005, 09:24 AM

Kelsey also eats twice a day. Morning before I leave for work and then around dinner time.

She's not really much of an eater...she nibbles on her food and then wants to play.

I have to feed them at set times because they have to eat seperately. Tuffy loves to gobble up all of Pixie's food behind my back so free feeding is out of the question. They get 3-4 little meals a day.

I feed Twinkie 3 times a day. I would love to free feed, but with 3 dogs I won't know if any one of the dogs is feeling off and not eating. I like knowing how much food they eat everyday.
