How much do you feed your yorkie? I'm not sure if I'm under feeding or over feeding so I just wanted to see how everyone else's feeding schedule is. I feed my puppy about 1/4 of a cup blue buffalo kibble daily, which is the recommended portion on the bag for her weight. I also mix in a little bit of steamed carrot or apple/banana into her dry food to give a little bit of variety and when I'm training her. She's 12 weeks :) What's your fur babies feeding schedule like? By the end of the day she definitely doesn't look hungry though lol, but she's always ready for bananas.. She loves them! |
As long as you're feeding close to the recommendation on your specific bag of food -and- your kiddo's body condition feels right (can feel the ribs and waist, not prominent, but ribs not buried in fat either) - then I think you're doing great. I feed mine twice a day. When they were puppies I fed them 4x a day at first, then 3x a day, then went down to 2x a day when they were around 10mths old. |
hope this helps Good question. I have been wondering the same thing. We feed Chewy 1/2 a cup of dry food twice a day. He gets treats as well since we are training him atm. He hardly ate when we first got him about a month ago but a change of dog food fixed that problem! |

For a pup, it sounds about right. I wouldn't worry about a young puppy getting overweight. At 12 weeks, if she's still hungry, give her some more. :) My 5 yr old, 17lb, active, neutered male eats 1/2 cup of kibble PER DAY. He does get wet food as well, plus treats (we do lots of training) and the occasional chew, so I try to count those calories in. In the summer, when he swims, we do 2/3 cup per day. He would get fat eating anymore. |
