I agree with all. He can be put on a feeding schedule. M husband’s work schedule combined with mine allows for him to be on a feeding schedule, but we didn’t put him on one because the breeder recommended letting him eat when he was hungry. We will put him on one now.

Now, I want to share something that I want to get your opinion on, but was scared to mention. His food…. The breeder fed him Iams Mini Chunks. She feeds all of her dogs Iams Mini Chunks (including puppies) and does not recommend puppy food. In her opinion, it makes Yorkies grow too fast and long before puppy food was invented, dogs were fine. This is what she said. I followed her recommendation and continued with Iams Mini Chunks. For those of you who are not familiar with this, it is adult food for small breeds. Could his food be part of the problem?

Thanks
