They are eating more than you are seeing.....after you see they are actually eating, then I would go from free feed to 5 meals a day....start at whatever time they get up in the am, and what time they go to bed for the night, and evenly space your feedings out over those hours. I would leave it down at least an hour...then pull it up. The next week, you can cut back to 4 meals a day, then a week later 3 meals a day, leaving these meals down at least an hour each time. Every dog/situation is different, but I have given this plan to 5 different people and it worked well for them. |
My lilah is a very finicky eater too, she kept a steady weight but it seemed like I was constantly tossing old food and trying new things that my girl would reject. We tried raw, were very grain free focused, trying the new legume based diets etc. We finally tried royal canin Yorkshire terrier 28 and had great success until shortly thereafter the ingredients changed and once again my girl was reheating her food- I was so upset! At the time there was a big discussion on Yorkie talk about that change and within that discussion Judy reccomended the food above- royal canin mini adult. It has worked so well for us! Lilah is eating and happy
Are your pups maintaining their weight? Have they had their bloodwork done anytime recently? Although yorkies can be known for finicky eating habits it can actually be a symptom of an underlying problem as well.
