First of all welcome to YT. And congratulations on your new little one. You'll have so much fun with a Yorkie even though they do have their moments that make you want to pull your hair out. I'm right now in the middle of changing my furbabies over to Canidae. My three Yorkies get 1/8 c. morning and evening. (Chipper does get a little before bedtime because he throws up bile in the morning if his tummy is empty.) I can't free feed because of my Pommie. Besides having no stop mechanism he inhales so fast that he gets food stuck in his throat. Scares me half to death. I put a small amount of water on his food so it is slippery and doesn't stick in his throat. Anyway, I always wonder if I am feeding enough because 1/8 c. seems such a small amount. But they aren't skinny so I'll stick with this amount. I was interested to read that some count the kibble. That's a good idea.
