| Recommended Amount of Protein Please can someone advise on the correct amount of protien per day for a healthy, 4 lb. male Yorkie? I messed up his diet preference when I moved his pee pad and had to increase positive rewards (homemade treats). He won't eat his usual kibble now without my jazzing it up and I'm wetting it with homemade broth and chicken, veggies, etc. So, he might not be getting as much from his kibble. Trying to "unpicky" him. Not easy!!! |

| LOL they are such picky eaters, and once the are given a special treat they never forget! I really don't know if anyone has figured out the amount of protein per day. Some people feed high protein food and others feel that a lower amount is better. With Buster he is highly treat motivated so I have to watch his calorie intake. He had gotten too many treats and become portly so we have reduced his calories in order to loose weight. I have read that the treats should be no more than 10% of their daily diet. I watch Busters weight and his body shape to determine his diet. https://www.google.com/search?q=dog+...iw=999&bih=558
