Probably been asked but everything is about really young pups.

I have a 7 month old yorkie (actually morkie (3/4 yorkie 1/4 maltese) that is 2.7 lbs. I feed her 1 cup of Natures Variety kibble per day. Periodically I feed her Natures Variety Raw a little less than 2 medallions. So sticking to the 1 cup of kibble 1/3 3x per day is that enough? Is that too much?

Its tough to follow the bag which indicates a 5 lb. dog as the minimum. I don't think thats a good basis.

Let me add for two of those feedings she shares food with a 15 lb. poodle/yorkie. She holds her own in getting what she wants but I don't know if I should separate them for now.

Thanks for any input you may have!
