From what I am learning finicky eater and Yorkie go hand in hand. I have read that the amount stated on the pet food bags usually is more than what your dog actually needs. Maybe get some samples of different foods and see if she likes the new food better. I try out the new kibble by using them as treats. Then if Buster likes it I would give it for his meals. He then thinks he has tricked me into giving him treats for dinner. I do know that Yorkies should eat on a regular basis so that their blood sugar levels do get too low. You might want to have Nutrical or Nutristat or Karo Syrup on hand in case of Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) I feed closer to 1/2 - 2/3 cups a day. I will be interested to hear the amount other feed.
