What do you think? |
We have 3 yorkies. Lydia is 10yo and eats twice a day far less than 1/3 cup and if I increase the amount she gets heavier than the vet likes her to be. Greta is 8yo and eats twice daily, even less than Lydia because she is a calmer, less active doggie. Miss Priss is only 6mo old and she weighs less than a pound, eats 3x per day in small portions. Yorkies that we have had seem to be "hungry" all of the time. We have about 15 yorkies in our immediate family and they are all "hungry". We never feed them from the table because we have seen too much pancreatitis when we did feed them from the table. Occasionally we'll feed them some boiled chicken as a treat. Any advise for us?
