I have had my first Yorkie for a month now.

I am not sure how much food I should be feeding Sadie a day. The breeder was not sure as she fed about 7 Yorkies at once. Some were adults and some were newborns.

I have been feeding her about 1/4 cup of hard food, plus 1/4 cup of soft canned
food, plus a tiny bit of lettuce together for her breakfast.

I always leave hard food in her dish.

For dinner, I do the same thing that I do for breakfast, but instead of lettuce, she gets carrots.

I give her about 5 cheerios a day, or else jerky for treats.

During the past few days, I have been feeding her more as she cleans up her bowl.

She has not put close to a lb. on. She was 5.5 lbs. when I got her, but due to the stress of a new home, she went down to 5 lbs. Now, she is up to
6 lbs. She looks healthy to me, as I always thought she was skinny at
5.5 lbs., but the vet said she was fine.

After I weighed her today, I have cut back on her food, and keeping to the
schedule I listed above.

What do you do with your adult Yorkies? How many times a day do you feed them, and how much?

Thanks everyone.
