Winston is 16 months old and about 3.5 lbs. I can feel his ribs, backbone, hips. He has kibble out at all times (Natural Balance). I started to feed him table food to try to get him to eat more. Just a little cooked chicken or turkey on top of his kibble. Sometimes a tablespoon or less of shredded cheese. He gobbles up the people food, and then might start eating the kibble.

He needs to go to the vet this month for his annual shots, but I thought other Yorkie owners might have more knowledge on this topic than the vet.

Any ideas? I was wondering if I should try Blue Buffalo instead of Natural Balance.
