| How many times a day does you yorkie eat? Mine is such a pig! she eats about 4x a day. morning afternoon evening night omg shes 9 months and didnt ever eat this much before I think I should stop free feeding. shes getting all pudgy :-( when her bowl is empty she raises heck. banging on doors, barking at people, etc. so how many times does yours eat? how many times is normal?

| perhaps I should measure out her dry kibble and feed a lil bit throughout the day. I havent thought about that. She just seems to like a lot of food a lot of times. lol thanks for the reply

| Mine are fed a very small breakfast and then they have their dinner when I get home from work. I use to free feed but Mimi started to gain so much weight so they are now on a schedule and to be honest I love it that way. |

| Ellie eats 3 times a day. When I fed kibble she was free fed. I prefer that she eats at least 3 times a day because toy breeds can't store too much glucose and whatever else at a time and it seems healthier (to me) to feed small amounts more often.

| Twice a day, same amount each time. They act like they are starving but they are both a healthy weight so they are not. I'm considering doing 3 meals now that I'm home but they won't appreciate getting a smaller portion

| Twice a day. Mine is not very food motivated so he does fine. He eats slow even with just two meals.

| I leave dry food out all day, and then feed them canned at night. If I watch, I notice they only eat about twice a day. If they eat a good breakfast, they don't eat much during the day. If they don't eat breakfast, they tend to munch during the day.

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | My two are fed twice a day - morning and night. I used to free feed, but my little girl is a piggy and thinks that she is supposed to eat all day long

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | I free feed all of mine. They really don't seem to eat alot. I always like to make sure they have food available at all times, incase they are not hungry at a schedule feeding...so i just feel better letting them help themselves |
