One lady told me that she is so picky about the amount of food she feeds her Yorkies that she counts each kibble. I'm not that much of a fanatic, but I do try to be aware that it is easy to heap.

i have often wondered how many kibbles were in 1/8 of a cup. i counted roughly 30 LOL but they are small kibbles.

if they are not losing, i would just try some more exercise. do you give them a lot of treats? because that can contribute to dogs being overweight too. how much does the one that is overweight weigh??
