my yorkie is 6 months old.
lately, i've been feeding him 1/2 cup of IAMS DRY food.
i think i might be feeding him too much.
thoughts on amount and brand????

thanks for all your help!

ok well first, the brand is not good. It has been compared to giving him McDonald's every day of his life. I would highly suggest changing it. Try something like Wellness, SOlid Gold, Innova. You should change gradually and expect diarrhea. It is very normal when changing from a not good food to a quality food. When you get a new bag of food look on the back for feeding suggestions.

You most likely won't find those brands in stores. You'll have to find a privately owned pet store, or a feed store. You can google those brand names, go to their website and most of them have Store Locaters. Good luck!
