| How often does your Yorkie get fed? I feed Maximus twice a day, once in the a.m. and once in the p.m. with reward treats in between. (He has to "work" for his treats). Just curious to see how everyone else does it.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I feed mine 3 times a day. I have a pom who has cushing's disease and she is always hungry so I now feed all of them 3 smaller meals a day.

| Sapphire has a bowl that's filled with dry food out all day. She only eats when I'm home, though. She eats in the morning and at dinner time when I eat. Sometimes, though, if I have a snack she'll go over and eat. Funny dog.

| Diva only eats twice a day and only if I am near her. If she sees me go into another room, she'll stop and follow me. |

| I free feed Sydney and Chloe. I put about half their portion of kibble down in the a.m. and refresh it in the evening. They really don't eat alot , they really never finish a days worth , so I just leave it down for them. If they ate alot then I would probably do scheduled feedings.

| Lil' Miss Izzie gets fed in the morning and then again in the evening. I do leave kibble out for her in her dog dish during the day, but she rarely ever touches it...

| I feed 2 main meals a day (breakfast & dinner) and a small meal for supper before bed so I guess 3 meals.

| I voted other...because it seems like constantly...to keep his sugar up, to avoid seizures. Dry food is there for him always...he eats first thing in the morning, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack...and last but not least bedtime snack.

| I feed then dry Royal Canin @ noon. They eat on and off all day. I have to make sure Baron eats first becase Sammy will eat everything insight including the cat food that is kept upstairs!! I give the bison and blueberry dog treats when they go potty outside.
