| Use the recommended feeding. Gage your dog by the way it looks. But with a puppy its better to have them "chunky" then thin. But you don't want them to get too overweight. If the dog gets over weight especially when they are prone to knee problems ect its not good for them |

| My Gidget will be 4 mo on the 21 of this month. I put out 1/3 c each morning and she grazes all day long. Sometimes she eats it all but most times there is some left at the end of the day. I put it up and add that amt the next day to equal 1/3 c. Learned this by trial and error and her own eating habits. So, just experiment with your baby. |

| Rockyand mommy I have the same problem. Spice is going on 2 and weighs 8 lbs. Vet wants her at 6 and I am having such a hard time. I cut her Royal C down to 1/4 cup twice a day with a few green beans. I will give her little chunks of watermelon or blueberries or something like that when she cries for food. Like you it breaks my heart but I know it is harming her health and I am strong about it. I have to be as I want her around for a very long time. |

| Yikes.... maybe I am not feeding Rock enough. Since getting him at 8 weeks, I keep a small amount of quality dry kibble in his bowl and 2-3 times a day about a tsp of moist food out. He gets treats during the day as well as part of training and rewards. He does not always eat all the kibble or moist food (still determining which flavors of moist he likes the best). As far as exercise/activity on nice days we try to take a walk outside otherwise playtime is indoors. At 5 months he is around 3.5 lbs. His mom and dad weighed 4 and 6 lbs. |

| good morning I have two teacup yorkies one is going to be two and one is going to be 7 I only got them in June and they came from a family with two small children the male who is going to be seven has some problems He gets mild seizures occasionally and had kidney stones once so is on a royal canine diet. I have been feeding them 1/3 of a cup of food a day but he seems to be gaining weight. I'm thinking of giving him only 1/4 if food a day to see if that helps. any suggestions |
