hi there!  I had a f Yorkie who was 14 lbs.  I put her on the dog food "Fit n' Trim" and she lost down to 7 lbs over 6 months.  I  think it is by Purina, but it works!  People food is ok, just not much of it,  and not often. 

 When they are bigger, they can be more independent, and twice as much to show off!
