| Food for Tinies For those of you that have Tiny Yorkies (2 to 3 lbs), do you feed them special food? Is there special food to help them gain weight? I hope this isn't a dumb question. Thanks |

| You just need a good quality food. The vets have higher calorie food but I really doubt you need that but you can talk to your vet about it

| You don't say if your tiny is a puppy or an adult. I don't think they need a special diet, just a high quality food with no corn or meat by products. I think they should also be fed more often, like 4 times a day so you know they are eating and still leave out dry kibble and water all the time. |

| organic is always the best way to go to make sure that your puppy is allowed to trust it's own body as to what nutrients it needs. my puppy has done wonders while on his organic and chiropractic diet. |
