I am getting worried. Is he too skinny?
I am also confused as to how to determine his full meal, I usually feed him till he refuses. So I don't really have a specific ration. |
It should say on the bag how much to feed for a certain size/weight dog. Start there, then add a little bit more if he eats the recommended amount. To put weight on a dog, it's best to do it slowly. You can give extra treats throughout the day, and some probiotics may help.
Here's a chart that will help you determine just where he's at:

Many Yorkies tend to be thin, better for their bones not to be carrying a lot of extra weight...
