Hi, My Bailey’s(12), was 7.4lbs. on his last Veterinarians Visit, she wanted him thinned down to 6lbs.. She was concerned about his heart because he was panting like crazy so she sent me to a Cardiologist, his heart is fine!😊
The Cardiologist suggested a Prescriptions Dog Food Called;
Hills, For Weight Loss and also has a little something for Bones, You would feed Minnie by the amount you want her to weigh. My Bailey, for 6lbs., is 1/2 cup, I can’t get him to eat that much and he Loves it! It’s been 2+ weeks and he’s lost 4ozs.. I have noticed a little pep in his Step.😊
There’s a lot of dog food out there named Hill science diet etc., this is Not That! This is Prescription Dog Food, only carried by a Veterinarians Office. I would ask your Vet what they think. He does love it and it smells Really good!
Warning ⚠️
The Cardiologist Warned me about the new fad, Grain Free Foods. They’re Not good for Yorkies Hearts♥️
Your Veterinarian should be able to recommend a good Well Balanced Dog Food, for Yorkies/Small Dogs. If not, make sure your Veterinarian treats small dogs!
If you’re a big treat giver, that might be an issue also,
I not but he gets things like fruits and veggies.
I hope this helps.
