How often does your Yorkie get fed? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

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.

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.

I feed KiKi twice a day..once in the a.m. and once in the p.m. She gets a couple of treats in the late evening....the magic words "What time is it?" will send her spinning in circles!!!! Treat time!!

Mine get dry left out all day and then they get canned in the evening.

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.

Oliver and Brooklyn eat twice a day. Brooklyn would probably eat till she exploded if i left food out all day! She loves to eat!!

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.

SweetPea53 · 01-09-2009, 06:36 PM

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...

LauraLove · 01-09-2009, 06:47 PM

As of now i leave his dry food out all day. he only eats a couple bites at a time but once he gets older ill probably do scheduled feedings...that is if he starts eating more

Potter · 01-09-2009, 06:59 PM

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

wemple2 · 01-09-2009, 10:04 PM

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.

Nobuyuki · 01-09-2009, 10:46 PM

In the AM I mix Merricks can food with Solid Gold kibble. I toss any food left and I usually leave fresh kibble throught the day, but he doesn't touch it much. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........

I wonder if this is okay?

magic123 · 01-10-2009, 06:02 AM

i put food down once a day. magic eats royal canine dry. his food usually sits in the bowl most of the day. he only eats when he is hungary and really prefers to just have treats. i try to watch treat intake but my husband gives them alot which i do not really like but i cannot always be the treat police.
