Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Is your Yorkie overweight? I googled this Web sight that talks about overweight dogs, and now I'm stressing about Eddie's weight. He looks like the 'fat' example to me, with no hips. Check it out, and scroll down to the illustrations. Is Eddie fat? Is your dog overweight? (See attached poll) http://petcaretips.net/overweight_dogs.html

| I don't think Eddie's overweight. I think he's average. My vet says Tiggers average but I think he's too skinny. What do you all think?

| One vet told me Baby was fine, and another vet told me she was a little chubby. I like her chubby belly. Like Mommy like furbaby!

| I found the poll hard to answer as by breed standard Pippa is overweight she is 8lbs but i dont think to look or feel that she is.

| my puppy's not "fat", he's "festively plump". hahaha. according to my vet, bunjee's weight is perfectly fine for his size. and i think a better way to check out a yorkie's shape per the diagram is to see them during a bath/shower. then you're not fooled by the abundance of hair. |

And, thanks, Thorsmomma, I guess I won't cut out his treats just yet.
