| Feeding Question I am puppy sitting a Yorkie for a friend and she put in baggies 1/4 cup of food for am/lunch/pm. When fed this amount she gobbles it down, then because of eating so fast she throws up (not all the time) but she always seems hungry. I have a yorkie and 2 brussels griffons and I pretty much let them eat till they are thru as they have so much energy and are non stop. So I started feeding 1/2 cup in the am and 1/2 in the pm and she no longer gobbles or throws up. She plays hard with my pups so I thought she needed more food for energy. My friend weighed her and said the vet told her she needed to feed her ribs (which you can) and she weighed 7.6. Now she weighs 8lb, but she seems to have so much more energy and doesn't beg for food during the day. Should I have stuck with her feeding schedule and should I tell her how I have been feeding her?
