It's gotten to a point that I've started measuring his kibble rather than free feeding to make sure he only gets 1/4 cup kibble. Good thing I use Natural Balance dog food rolls as treats... lol little pig.

I thought that fish wasn't good to feed them on a regular basis? The puppy packet I received from my breeder and the Yorkie book I have both state that fish (raw, canned, or cooked) fed in high amounts can result in a thiamine deficiency that can lead to seizures and in severe cases, death. Sorry, I don't mean to be an alarmist, but I knew I remembered reading that so I just grabbed my book and puppy packet to confirm the info.
