Any other yorkies get hungry at night?

I feed her Great Life Grain & Potato Free Salmon....its a 5 star rating dog food, her stools this morning since giving her the pumpkin have firmed up to looking normal... can you supplement her kibble with 1/2 tsp of pumpkin every day or is that bad for them and only to be used for soft stools..? She really loves the pumpkin...she sees me take it out of the refrigerator to get a tsp and starts jumping up and down for it...I'm afraid that once I stop giving her pumpkin, her poop will go back to what they were....soft serve-like....what midday snacks and how much of the snack do you give? Thanks!!!

Yeah my Dexter will save his food until late at night before bed. I think he's holding out hoping for people food and then when he realizes hes not getting any, he eats his own food. Poor little guy, not sure how long it's going to take him to realize 99% of the time he never gets people food! LOL

We feed our boys 1 NV Raw Medallion a piece at 7:00 AM and 2 at 7:00 PM and lord, don't let us be one minute late! I think they have a Rolex stashed somewhere because they always know what time it is. They also get a bedtime snack at around 11:00 PM which is usually a couple of bites of banana or some Fruitables Skinny Mini Apple Bacon flavor treats.

I make Tibbe a bowl of kibble with hot water over it, cooled, when he asks for it - stands in front of me & looks cute, barks, growls & jumps around happy when I guess right - but he just does that once every couple of days. Otherwise, he eats his kibble on demand and sometimes in the morning I see he's eaten quite a bit over night. I think he just eats when he is hungry & I guess sometimes that is during the night. He's not much for scheduled eating and skips some days eating but always seems to eat an evening meal.

Sadie and baron get wet food mixed with dry every morning at around 7:30 and I free feed dry plus treats not a lot and not everyday they get rawhide treats anytime they want for their teeth.but if there's food left at night it's gone by morning if its gone before I don't refill til morning.baron is chunky Sadie could use a few more ounces

I just back from the vet for Emy's rabies shot, and asked her about the throwing up early in the morning, she said it was from an empty stomach, I told her I have been feeding 3x's a day 1/4 cup. She said she thought 3/4 of a cup seemed like a lot. We weighed Emy today and she weighed 7.4 lbs. How much do you feed per day, do you think 3/4 cup is too much. She eats it all and seems to still be hungry. She never gets human food ever. She might get a few crumbs of a Brothers Complete grain free treat, but thats it....I also told her I had been giving Emy some pumpkin the last couple days to firm up her stools, Emy seems to love it, she said it was fine to give it to her everyday. She said green beans are good for a vegetable snack during the day.....the pumpkin has firmed up her poop, we just went out and she did a poop, this is the first time since I've had her that her poop actually looked like a normal firm poop. Getting down this feeding seems to be some kind of science for this breed....don't want to underfeed, don't want to overfeed, can't give them this and that, loose stools, vomiting....gosh...I want a healthy puppy..thank goodness for this forum, if I was on my own with Emy, don't know where we'd be...

Tibbe was is 9" tall, 9 1/2" long & weighs 5.6 oz. His vet said feed 1/4 cup of his Hill's I/D in a.m. and 1/4 cup at night - or slightly more than 1/4 in a.m. or less at night, if preferred. But Tibbe is a night-eater and often not hungry during the day. So I finally just fix his soaked-kibble food if he's asks for it & otherwise leave some kibble down 24/7. He doesn't get veggies yet, not until I'm sure all his tummy troubles are well past and then we segue to a new food.

Dooney is also a late night eater. I put his food out at 8 am but he will not touch it. He will nibble a little at 2 pm and then will eat his whole bowl around midnight. Now that he is 7 months old, he is more consistent with eating it once I put it down, I am contributing this to him having most of his adult teeth coming in. I free feed and he is really picky.

Ian gets up around 4:30a to potty, poop and eat, even though we walk him every night right before bedtime. He eats about an eighth of a cup of Solid Gold Wee Bits around 4:35, lunch at 12:00 (fresh raw veggies and an eighth of kibble). He will have a quarter cup of kibble about 7p for dinner. If he has treats, we only give him fresh raw string beans.
