| How much to feed? Good Morning!! Sophie does not eat kibble well, so I bought her some of the Gerber Chicken Sticks. I gave her one for breakfast along w/ the kibble with some of the juice. She weighs less than a pound and is 8 weeks old. How much should I give her a each feeding? After she ate that one, (She loved it!!!!) her tummy looked fat! That may be because she is so little. Am I giving her enough? |

Bella Boo & Diggy Too! Donating GS Member | I battle with the same thing....From what I have found on tiny yorkies...they need to eat little bits frequently to keep blood sugar up. Look into recipes to keep her interested in eating! Lots of good ones on here.

| Amount to feed with homemade natural diet Generally, when you are giving a natural, homemade, or raw diet, give 3% of the pet's weight. For a 1lb dog, it's about a half-ounce, or 15 grams. If she's underweight, feed a little more divided between meals.

| Thank yall so much!! I am going to cook her some chicken and see how she does w/ that too. I will definitely check out the recipes. Thank goodness she likes the gerber chicken sticks, I can use those as a back up. I was just getting worried because she would barely eat. I guess the kibble is a little hard and it may be hard for her to chew, maybe she will get better at eating that. Thanks again!!!! |
