I would just put whatever amount your food says and leave it down and see how he does with it.. |
I feed Yogi twice a day (in the morning and in the evening). He gets a little snack when I come home for lunch and a snack in the evening as well. |
I was feeding Stella twice a day (breakfast and early dinner) but she started to throw up (not food but bile I guess) around 5 am in the mornings about once a week. So I now feed her 3 times a day small meals and she hasn't been sick since. Now finding a food that she wants to eat is another story! |
I feed Polo normally two times a day once in the morning and after his walk in the evening. But sometimes I feed him 3 small meals a day because Polo's pretty active at 2 1/2 miles walking everyday estimated 14 miles or more a week So I really think it depends on what age you dog is and how active they are |
Thanks everyone! I will continue to feed Nolee twice a day! Your comments have helped alot!! |
We tried to feed Teddy twice a day, but he has had stomach issues, and food allergies, so we ended up feeding him 4 times a day, we have tried to go to 3 but he hates it, and so does his tummy, as he has had many allergy issues, and sickness if he has too longer gaps between meals, we have no problem in him having 4 meals a day, we are used to it now, as he has been this way for 2 out of his 3 years. I think it is a case of finding what is best for your Yorkie, although I do agree with others comments on once a day maybe a little harder for a Yorkie than some bigger breeds, although some are fine, it's a case of knowing what yours does better with. We make sure we don't over feed though having 4 meals a day. We divide his daily amount of kibble into 4 equal portions. |

I guess if you have olne that would gobble it all down at one time, then you would have to limit their food. But mine nibble several times a day. the food is put out in the morning, when it's gone it's gone. So I guess you could say I feed once a day all day long. :D If it is not gone by 7pm then I pick it up. |
Winston has his kibble down 24/7, which he nibbles on throughout the day and night. But he has to eat often, to prevent hypoglycemic/seizures, so he is actually fed 6 small meals a day. He is a tad overweight, I'd like to be able to decrease his feedings...but on those days when he really runs and plays hard he has to eat often, he just has to. |
Oliver has kibble available all day...whatever he doesn't eat the labs scarf up on the way to bed at night or sometimes the cat will eat it (he's on a fat kitty diet and is not real happy about it so he's not real picky these days) Oliver gets a fresh start the next morning no matter what :D I also treat him with raw food throughout the day ... |
Each dog gets fed according to size and age. Whether they're showing or not. Pregnant or nursing. Some twice a day. Some 3 times a day. Pregnant moms 3 or 4 times a day. Nursing moms 5 times a day. Pups have kibbles down all day, but are fed 4 times a day. Show dogs are fed 3 times a day, due to the pace of traveling and training. |
twice, i lkied free feeding better though, i felt they were calmer at meal time, but one of them is a little overweight so vet recommended this |
Is their any Good diet I have my 5 years old yorkie and I am quite sure she is overweight with 11 pounds even that the vet didn't say anything to me ,now I rescued a little dog two,weeks ago and Shai my yorkie changed completely she is depressed I don't know what to,do she got sick now,she is on medications the told me she got kennel caught yen I tried to feed her less cause I can see she is really a little balloon but then she stop wanting to walk like we did always we g out and suddenly she stops and won't move an inch I reall don't know,what to do and makes me ver scar that something can happen to her , today after I read some of the things about feeding yorkies I am giving same way I did before to see if she isn't acting like that because of her sugar if someone can tell me anything that can help me understand my doggie that she changed so much in few days I appreciate |

I free feed my little 6 mo old Gidget and it works for her. Some days she eats more than other days. I put out 1/3 c. dry Eukanuba in the morning. Some days she eats it all and other days she doesn't. My first Yorkie, Teddy, died when he was 14 and he did much better on free feeding after the first 4 months. He wasn't a big eater. Sometimes it took him 2 days to finish the 1/3 c but he was very healthy and a perfect adult weight (5 lbs.). Your baby will let you know what is best. |
