| I free feed Sophie with her daily amount of Wellness and she usually visits her bowl twice a day. She get lots of training treats, too. Her bowl is in the dining room and she usually sits down to eat when we do. It's so cute . She maintains her weight perfectly. Wish I could do that !

| Hi, I am new to the site, a brand new yorkie owner. My yorkie puppy's name is Charlie and she is a delight. Our vet said to divide 1/3 cup dry into three meals per day. That is what we have been doing, however, in the mornings and evening servings, we add a small amount of wet to the dry. |

| Thank you . Yes, Sophie likes to do everything that we do. If we get our coats out she will go to her closet where we keep her coat and leash and paw on the door for her coat, too! When it's time for bed she will sit in the middle of our bed with her stuffed raccoon she likes to sleep with and paw at the bedspread to be covered up. She cracks us up.

| I free feed Charlie his kibble then I feed him soft food once in the morning and once in the evening. He has a much better appetite now. We had a hard time getting him to eat and gain weight since he was sick. He is 5 1/2 months now and weighs 2.6lbs. |

| Do to work, convenience I have always fed my schnauzer 2X per day, and when Charlee came, that is what she got as well. She gets raw in the morning and kibble for dinner...treats throughout the day...currently she is getting puffed rice as a treat for potty training etc. I have already found the 2X a day to be beneficial, because the minute one of my girls turns her nose up at their food...something is off, for my schnauzer it was a pancreatic attack (Vet visit)...for Charlee just a little GI issue that I was able to catch, and help right away. (By feeding just a little pumpkin at her next meal). |

Everyone's dog and everyone's pack is different. Everyone has to find what works for their individual situation, as bizarre as it may sound to everyone else!!! All for the love of the dog......*sigh*

| I free feed Lola but she only eats around 6am-7 before I leave to work. I come home from work the latest 5pm she eats after that like twice. I would like to start putting her on a schedule so that I can control taking her outside for potty because I am still having a little difficulty with the potty training. Any suggestions? |

| I split their diet between kibble and raw so I do both, free feed kibble (1/2 ration) and then they get Stella and Chewy's freeze dried raw mixed with green beans and coconut chips for breakfast every morning before I go to work. Again, the S & C is half ration. It's working great for us because Soph, my picky eater, has actually put on a few ounces and Gulliver, my little Hoover, has only gained weight appropriate for a growing puppy. He's a little over a year now and his weight has levelled off at around 9.5 pounds of solid muscle. |
