I have 2 beautiful little yorkie girls. They were both about 3 pounds when they were about 17 weeks old. They are around 3 years old now and weigh 5 lbs and 7 lbs. They have become very rounded and need to lose some weight. The vet said they would be much happier if they were a little thinner. I feed them Royal Canin Yorkie food. I have watched how much they eat and it is about 1/4 to 1/3 cup a day. What do I need to do to get these girls to lighten up some? I want them to be around for a long time. Thanks for any advice.
