Your Yorkie will tell you how much to feed her, but don't let the scale guide you too much. A little fat is healthy; of course too much can put unnecessary stress to the joints. Has your vet told you that she's has too much excess weight? The recommended amount on a bag of food, is just an average, and your dog may need more or less, depending on the activity level, or their metabolism. Ask the vet about a healthy weight range, and then you can monitor the food you give her knowing that. Most Yorkies grow till about 1½ years, and then after that it’s excess weight. Also, when reading the recommended amount, the company is assuming that that is all the food you are feeding each day, not per meal, and if you are feeding several different foods, you don't want the recommended amount of each, your baby will be obese in no time!
