Hello All..
I have a 3 months old mini Yorkie. How many times do I feed her a day?
We live in an apartment, we don't have a garden so she is always indoor.

Do i keep the water for her always?
What food can i give her?
At the moment i am using the royal canon for her age and she loves it, anything else to give her?

Water should always be available. As far as food, we leave it out as well. Snoopy and Sally eat Royal Canin, too, and are doing well on it.

I feed 2x a day. I feed in the morning before I go to work and leave it out while gone. I feed again at 5 pm but if she still has food, if the cat didn't eat it, I don't give her more. I have had her on Nutro since I adopted her.

First, I would be asking the breeder how often they were feeding her - bc that's what you need to do as well.

Otherwise, I'd be feeding about 4x per day right now. Then go down to 3x per day in 1-2 mths when you feel she is ready. Then go down to 2x a day around 5-8 mths depending upon when she's ready for that.

Yes, keep water available.

As far as food, the kibble I recommend most is Natures Logic. It's more species appropriate as it's a higher protein kibble rather than a higher carb kibble like Royal Canin. But many dogs here do great on RC if that's what you prefer.
