It would be better though if you could feed the dog only what it will eat during the day and throw away what little remains at the end of the day and wash the bowl thoroughly each night. In time, you will know how much to put out. |

I think it's right for not keeping too long the wet food. Of course usually I keep in container inside the refrigerator if he doesn't finish it; but maybe I will keep it only for one more day max.
Next time I will try to lessen the portion, but actually I just try to give him the portion recommended on the food bag/can. Though when he's moody, sometimes he can eat much less and even skip eating. Yorkshire is really like human baby :
