how much to feed my 5 lb dog How much wet food should I be feeding my 5 lbs yorkie per day? I leave out dry food all day. |
What dry food on you feeding? Also what wet food? I don't give wet food. Peanut is 6 years old and 4 pounds- he gets a total of 1/4 of a cup a day. |
My vet has always suggested going be the guide that is posted on the bag of dry kibble. |

Yogi is almost one year old, six pounds and gets 1/4 cup twice a day (dry food) I do add some boiled chicken to it |
Few factors to consider: How many calories per cup is the food you are feeding? Kibble varies greatly. If I feed a 450 calories/cup food, I feed less. If I feed a 380 cal/cup food, I feed more. In other words, if my dog is eating Orijen, he would get less kibble. Something like Fromm, he would get more kibble. Take all of the calories of kibble, wet, and treats for the day and add them up. As Deanna pointed out, it also depends on age and activity level. |
Jess is 5.25 llbs, gets 1/4 cup with boiled chicken or a little wet mixed twice a day. She gets occasional blue buffalo treats or chicken. She always still seems hungry. My vet said after her spay yesterday, you can try feeding her a 1/3 of her dinner but I doubt she will eat it...and she prob wont poop for a few days.. Well, she pooped on the way out of the vet office and gobbled her dinner in about 30 seconds...looking for more but I didn't give it to her as I didn't want her throwing up..she didn't..ate a full breakfast this am Oh I feed royal canin |
Sounds like Jess is doing great! My two (7 lbs at 2+4 years) have had to have their kibble amount cut back, as they started to gain weight. I now feed a tablespoon in the am and 1/4 cup for dinner. Fruit and veggies for snacks. |
Hi, I have a 6 month old Yorkie and have just decided to start cooking her meals and feeding her supplements along with her meals. I was wondering just how satisfying cooked meals vs kibble are and should I keep feeding her 1/4 cup 2x's a day ? |
Hi, I have a 6 month old Yorkie, almost 5lbs. I have just recently switched from dry kibble to cooking her meals and adding supplements to each meal. I use to feed her 1/4 cup 2x's a day of dry kibble. Should that remain the same with home meals and is dry kibble more satisfying than cooked meals? I want to be sure she is satisfied and not run around hungry. Thanks so much! |
Hi I'm getting a teacup Yorkie Nov 7th Imay very uncertain what I should feed here. I'm open to suggestions!! Please advise me. |
Free feed the puppy, meaning, there should be food at ALL times for the baby to eat whenever it is hungry. |
I'm wondering what brand of food to feed her. I use to feed my late Yorkie royal canin. Then my late boxer I fed him origin. The pet store told me to use pro pac cause they don't sell royal. Then another person told to use NOW puppy food. So I have no idea what to feed her. She will be 8 was old this wwek |
What kind of food is the puppy eating now, you should keep the puppy on the same food it is eating. |
