| Go! Natural Food I am a newbie and would like some suggestions! Does anyone feed their yorkie the Go! Natural food? I switched to the food because it is of good quality. I phoned the company to determine the amount to feed my 4 1/2 month-old pup, they suggested 1/2 cup as a 10 pound active puppy is recommended to consume 2/3 cup a day (the package does not indicate the amount for dogs that weigh less than 10 pounds). However, she has lost some weight this week, so I will increase the intake, but is it that yorkies are more active than other dogs that they need more? She's a very busy girl! I appreciate any input you may have! |

| I checked out the food and it looks pretty high quality so ! I really don't know about how much to feed, though. I've always free-fed. Someone will come along soon though!

| Thanks, I appreciate that! I was free-feeding initially but was told that I was over-feeding her initially because she was getting the runs, so that's when I switched to a better quality food and tried to feed according to the directions. I'm not sure now if I should increase her intake by 50% or by 100% (3/4 cup or by 1 cup/day) or go 50 % more for the first couple of days, then 100%. I'm also thinking of giving her yogurt to help regain the weight. Just my thoughts. Thanks again! |
