I use a small cat dish saucer, and just cover the bottom with one layer of the kibble. If the canned is left over in the fridge, I microwave the dry/canned mix for 6 seconds. Stir it up again and it is ready to go. This is the only way I get Gracie to eat dry food. If she does not eat it all, I know I gave her too much or she had too many treats earlier in the day. By 4 months, Gracie started not eating her lunch so she is fed only twice daily. I also give her a snack of Yogurt ( a couple of tablespoons) before she goes to bed (vanilla, low fat and sweetened with honey or sugar). |
Since I am a new yorkie mom--having only had bigger dogs in the past--I am curious about all the "exotic" treats I read about on this site. I have been afraid to give any sort of table food to my baby for fear of making him sick. However, I have read that cheerios are good treats and now see that yogurt is ok? I have also read that some people add sugar to the food. Do yorkies need the extra sugar? I thought I had done my research, but keep seeing new things daily from you veteran yorkie lovers. :-) My pup doesn't have any problem eating dry food. In fact, he's a little butterball so not sure that I need to change or add anything to his diet. Just curious about what you experts think.
