Have you tried feeding your little ones Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lovers Soul? (dry kibbles) I just switched Stedman over to this food a couple of weeks ago and he LOVES it!! He likes this WAY better than his previous food. It really is a great quality food, which is why I am so glad that he eats this so well I recommend trying it out on your little ones, I'm sure they would love it too!

I do the same. Each time he eats (once or twice a day) he only eats like half of the food anyways, so probably about 1/4cup twice a day.

| My Max had a terrible bout of pancreatitis...which evolved into his new "diet"...they didn't really know if the pancreatitis was b/c of him getting into something he shouldn't have (don't even ask), or if it was b/c he was eating too much and just overweight.....the vet said no more treats, no more boiled chicken breast, etc....that was mainly his diet..other than Cesar dog food (1/2 container am, and 1/2 in the pm)...he got the boiled chicken when we went out to eat b/c that's what they had for dogs at the restaurant we went to. Now, he gets Hills W/D canned food ...I give him 1/6 of a can in the am and the same in the pm....in other words, 1/3 can per day. And I leave the W/D dry food in a bowl so he can eat it when he wants. I just fill it up (it's a small bowl) and it takes him days to eat. I rarely give him a "Biljack" treat (mainly when I want him to take a pill or if he's done something amazingly good). I'd rather him be healthy than me feel like I'm satisfying some deep seated, food related issue in myself. Anyhow, he's lost a couple of lbs and I do walk him more than I was....he's now a "little dog" once again, which is what is the best for him and the healthiest. Sometimes I feel like I'm being cruel by not indulging him with food, but I know in the long run, I'm doing the best thing for him to live a long and healthly life.

| I leave dry food out for Roxy all the time and have been giving her boiled chicken breast every am and pm and once every week or so, a scrambled egg. She likes her chicken HOT! Hotter than I eat it. But I think I'm going to cut it down to just at nite. She does get tastes of our food and her treats also. She also gets her baby carrot stick every day (if she remembers to remind me, LOL).

| Each yorkie is an individual and you need to feed him/her the amount of food that meets his particular requirements. GREAT THREAD! |

| How much should Yorkies eat? I started writing down how much I was actually feeding my dogs every day, and realized that it's more than I thought...so for the next two weeks I'm cutting it back by 1/3, and I'll do a "weigh-in" to see if it helps my porky Yorkies. Wish me luck! |
