I wouldn't add vegetables if I wanted a dog to gain weight, I added those when I wanted Joey to lose weight, veggies fill them up, but don't add many calories. You can make some beef liver or chicken treats, and they can be given after he eats his kibble. He's adorable, by the way. |
No, our vet thinks he's normal at 5lbs being one year old. But I still think he's skinny, maybe because he is my first yorkie.
Thank you for your advice. I do try to give him veggies and fruits after kibbles, but I think he senses the pattern and waits for them. He's like a vegetarian, really.
