| dog wants to eat all the time I have been keeping my friends non neutered male yorkie. I feed him good dog food but he acts ravenous all the time, stealing food from my dogs and getting into fights....at her house she only fed him twice a day about a fourth cup of a dog food for yorkies. I have tried giving him that amount--giving him a little more, supplementing with treats...nothing seems to quench his appetite. He has gained weight here--but no where close to being fat, as he was I thought too small---weighed only 4 lbs but is big enough to carry 6 easily without being overweight |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | How does this kiddo's body feel? Overweight? Underweight? Just right? Having a super ravenous appetite can also be a sign of other health issues...but I'd be curious as to how his body felt. Also, is his "weight distribution" okay...meaning, he doesn't have a pot belly or anything, does he? He isn't obsessed w/ drinking water is he?

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I know this is taking a turn in the other direction but... My Jonah is a little piggy too so I take total advantage of it. I just take out his favorite foods and teach him tricks with it....maybe you can use it to your advantage and teach him some fun tricks. My DH taught Jonah to fall over after he shoots him...solely because of his food obsession...
