We spoke with the people we got Bentley from and the 2 remaining puppies they have are eating very similiar to how Bentley is. Prior to getting Bentley we bought some books that were specificly about Yorkies. In the book it stated as a puppy they would eat 1/3 of a cup 3 times a day. It also said you would have to strictly monitor how much they ate because they would easily over eat if given the opportunity. I think this is what caused our concern regarding his eating habits.
Bentley sure is a smart and energetic lil guy. He is quite the little lover as well. His temperment is just what we were looking for. We are really enjoying him.
Once again thank you for the reply. I am glad I found this forum that caters specifically to the Yorkie. |
Hi and welcomt to YT
! Congrats on your new kiddo!
Most likely, he's just adjusting to the new enviro...although some dogs can indeed be very finicky eaters, and this can be tough on the humans they own. May want to try sprinkling some Parmesan cheese powder onto the food, that can be nice and enticing to dogs as it's pungent.
Many people just free feed as well, but it depends on what you want to do long term. Dogs brought up free-feeding don't usually overeat at all; most do super well just naturally eating when they need/want to.
