Right now I feed him 3 ounces twice a day, 6 ounces per day. I upped it from about 4 ounces a day to 5-6 ounces a day, or around 4.5-5% of his adult body weight. He does seem slightly thin but this could just be that awkward lanky puppy phase. But he's really healthy and active.

I was just hoping someone could tell me what works well for their Yorkies! Thanks =)

I feed Riley Primal Premade Frozen Raw.
He has been getting 2 nuggets in the morning and 2 nuggets in the
evening. I do weigh the nuggets to make sure he is getting enough
[I have found that sometimes the nuggets weigh different....].
Right now he is eating the Chicken and 2 nuggets have been weighing
to be 1.7 ounces... which is exactly what the Primal feeding
calculator says.
I also chop a few green beans and usually 1 small carrot and mix it in.
He is between 8 & 9 pounds....so I put in 8.5 pounds.

Not really sure about other brands of raw.....
If I forget to put it in the fridge to thaw, then I feed
him FROMM....
