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.
If your vet doesn't think he's overweight, please don't try and pack the weight on. Yorkies can have a serious weight issue as they age, and excess poundage is really bad for their knees. Joey loves veggies too, sounds like what you’re doing is fine, just don’t encourage the excess weight.
