That food is for OVERWEIGHT dogs! It is light in calories because it is fed to ADULT dogs that need to lose weight! It is NOT for puppies. I don't know if the breeder was trying to keep the weight down on the puppy so she could advertise them as teacup or what she was doing. But there really isn't such a thing as a teacup yorkie; they are just smaller yorkies. At least you couldn't find the Purina Light and Healthy food so your puppy isn't on it any longer which I think is probably a good thing.


I was kinda thinking the same thing. Wondering if she was trying to keep the poor pup small by underfeeding. Poor thing, hopefully now that he gets to actually eat he will gain some weight and be healthy. Don't be surprised if he ends up bigger than advertised (which is a good thing). 2 lbs is scary tiny IMO.
