If your dog is really small, under 4 pounds, you might consider free feeding during the day, or at least feeding more often, so that this doesn't occur. If the shiver occurs at other times, it probably just due to them feeling cold, and no food would be needed. Joey's breeder told me if you need a sweater; so do they.

I thoughtn about that, but she eats lots of treats during the day, and drinks lots of water.
