Is he TRULY overweight, or just a bigger Yorkie? You should be able to see a nice 'tuck' under the ribcage, or at least feel one. Jackson is 15lbs at 2 years old and is at a perfect weight, he's just a bigger Yorkie. He eats 1/2 cup per day total, plus wet food mixed in and treats. Jackson does get quite a bit of exercise. Two meals a day should be absolutely fine for a 6 month old. Sometimes I only feed Jackson once a day. I would try feeding 1/4 cup in the AM and 1/4 cup in the PM and see how he does. When you mix in wet food, just do a tiny bit and add water and stir it around.
