Yorkies are good at refusing their dog food to wait for table food, or treats. I would put any thing extra in with his food. Too many fruits and vegies could also make him feel full.
To get him eating kibble again, sometimes I try this: feed a 50/50 mix of plain chicken and rice (same as fed for dogs with tummy issues) and gradually add kibble to the mix until he's eating mostly kibble.
Probiotics with digestive enzymes may help, they help to break down the food after he eats it. You can also add a few sprinkles of Parmesan cheese to the food... it will entice him to eat and add some extra fat and calories.
Have you ever fed him canned food? These have more nutrition than kibble and may help to add some weight on.. Feed him a mix of kibble and canned food twice a day when you're at home, and leave the plain kibble down when you're at work, just in case he gets hungry. |
