Input from those who feed their Yorkie Primal Pet Foods. Hey everyone, I just had a couple of quick questions regarding my Yorkie's feeding schedule. She is 6.5 years old and weighs approx. 7.0 lbs. She is currently on Canine Chicken Formula 1 oz. nuggets. Right now her feeding schedule looks as follows:
8:30 AM - 1 full nugget and 1 baby cut carrot
1.:00 PM - 1 baby cut carrot
5:30-6:00 PM - 1 full nugget and 1 baby cut carrot
9:00 PM - 1 baby cut carrot
11:30-12:00 Midnight - 1 full nugget and 1 baby cut carrot
I don't hop into bed until around 4:30 AM-6:30 AM every day and I always make sure she has a little something in her stomach before we go to sleep, otherwise she will throw up yellow bile due to an empty stomach. I know I am on a terrible sleeping schedule, which I know may affect her, but I am trying to break this bad habit. My main concern is that she is feeling heavier and moving slower. I feel like she needs to be fed more, but I am afraid she will get heavier. I feel as if she definitely needs to lose a little weight. As for walks, they are rare. She is a house dog and gets excited when I grab the leash to go for a walk, but does not like to walk when she gets outside. I try to give her a gentle tug sometimes, but she does not budge.
So my questions are, is she on a good or bad feeding schedule? And am I feeding her too little or too much?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
