Jasmine is 5 lbs. Murphy is 8 or 9 lbs. Sashjade: My Westie is 24 lbs. Big for a Westie, huh.

hello everyone,
My little girl is 5 months old and weighs in at 1.65 pounds. She has only put on 50 grams since we got her two months ago but she is eating well. Should I be worried?. I give her the Royal Canine Yorkshire Terrier nuts for breakfast and leave her with a bowl of them for the day time and she does eat them. And for her evening dinner she has a bowl of nuts with some Caesar dog food...about a quarter of the tin at 7 pm. Plus she has her wee treats and a bit of cheese when she does her wees in the right place....Can anyone please advise as after reading your mails I am starting to worry that she is too small!!

Thank-you and Greetings from snowy Finland!

My girls are between 5 to 7 pounds .

Bobby is 6 months old and 9 pounds. I think he's a good size, even though it's above the standard. I wonder why the breed standard only goes up to 7 pounds, though, when the original dog was about 15 pounds, from what I've read?

Yes, you have a tiny one. The best most fattening food I found was Natural balance meat rolls. Use a piece for treats or feed as a meal. high quality of food and you can buy it online if you can't find it where you live?

Cosmo is 9 lbs and just turned a year old on the first.

Hello,
Thank-you for your advice. I took her to the vet last week for her check up and she said that she is just a very small dog and that her weight was fine. She was the tiniest in her litter but I tell you...she has a fine pair of lungs....!!! I will certainly check out those food products.

Regards,
Muireann
