| Yorkie on a diet? I want to put my girl Lily on a diet but dont want to do anything to hurt her. Should I be cutting down the meat morning and night? Should I lift the biscuits up and only put them out twice a day? What do I do for Jake I dont want him to lose weight and he tends to eat a few biscuits throughout the day rather than a lot at once. Anyone got any advice? I worry that they are so small they cant eat a lot at a time which is why I leave biscuits out all the time so they can nibble. If I put biscuits out with their meat they couldnt eat both at once. I dont mix them as they love the meat and will leave the biscuits and pick round them to get the meat but they will eat biscuits throughout the day. I feel bad to that Jake can affort to eat treats and table scraps but Lily cant so feel guilty and give her just a tiny amount to. Ruthx

| Hi Guys, I have a 4 year old female yorkie, ZheZhe. We got her 2 years ago. She was 9 lbs. After the first year, she went in for her yearly check up and had gain 2 lbs. Her vet suggested that he would like for us to keep her under 10 lbs. Well, the secret was let out that her daddy, whom she spends all day with, was giving her more than her allowed treats. So, we put her on a diet. We changed her food to a low carb, low fat food. She loves it. and has lost so far a pound and a few ounces in a 8 months time. Her food is Preimum Edge Weight Management II. And we also switched her treats to Old Mother Hubbard's Couch Potatoe Treats, and is going for 20 minute walks every day. So this is helping. But she still sometimes acts likes she's starving. But I know this is better for her. Good luck. |

| Was thinking the same thing about my LillyBelle, she weighed 4lbs at the vet in Sept when she was spayed. She's 1.5yrs old. I know I feed her too much, she now has a round little belly..so I switched her to nutra natural choice lite and cut her back from 3 tbsp morning and evening, while leaving her dry food out all day, to 2 tbsp morn/evening, leaving her dry food out all day, AND of course, EVERY time she rings her bell to go and potty-when we come back in. I know its too much. |
