How weird, Marcerella! I was just thinking of posting a thread like this one. Daisy been picky with her food lately and have some days only eat one meal! I've been worried but my hubby thinks ''she'll eat when she's hungry''. I may have been putting too much in her dish, for sure.

She's 9 months, 6 lbs. She usually has a meal 9 am and another at 7pm. I usually give more than 1/4 cup of food each time. She usually has food left over. I am gonna cut back now after reading this whole thread.

I have a 16 weeks old girl who is about 2.11 lb..maybe more now..that was 2 weeks ago. I usually feed her 3 times a day but should i just feed her 2 times and just increase her food a little bit for those 2 meals? or is she too young for that?

I feed both mine 2x's a day. Pucci gets 1/4 cup in the AM and 1/4 cup at around 5 or 6 as soon as I get in from work he weighs 5.5lbs and I think he could be a little heavier but that seems to be his weight.

GiGi on the other hand get fed 1/8 cup 2x's a day and she is smaller that Pucci and weighs 6.4lbs. She could eat till she can't move so I have to be careful with her. but it really kills me to not give her more food cause she loves it (any of it). I try to give her some veggies daily for her to munch on.

I also give them Yogart, veggies or sometime cook chicken and rice for them. Or fish when I have it.

My 2 are so diff when it come to weight and eating. Any advise appreciated. My 2 are 5yrs and 7yrs.

Sometimes I worry I might not feeding Chloe enough??? She always finish all her food and no leftover in her bowl? I feed her twice a day. Lately I mix Canidae dry food with Three Dog bakery wet food. I mix 1/2 shot glass of dry food and 2Tbsp of wet food together. I also feed her few treats a day. Do you think I feed her enough?? She is 10 months old and weight b/w 6 tgo 6.5 lbs. I actually fed her too much before....but somehow she still finished all her food but then threw up later!!!!

I leave Tricksie's dry food out all day. She gets a few cheerios and tiny bites of banana with breakfast. Through the day will give her a bite of veggies. She is almost 11 months old and weighs 6 lbs. She is so picky about the dry food, switched her to Purina One Rice and Lamb, she liked it for a few days but is not to crazy about it now. Any suggestions?

I feed Jack once a day, at supper time "when I eat". Around 5-6 pm.
Being European, I used to eat my dinner between 8-9pm but, it was too late for Jack and he likes to eat when I eat. lol
I give him a 6oz. can of his Wellness chix and sweet potato,,, and leave out a cup of dry food all day and night.
I only use a cup because it can sit there at times and I don't want it going stale.
So a cup works good for my 7 pounder.
Always remember, our Yorkies like routine, so try to feed him or her the same time each day.
I keep to a schedule with Jack. This includes walking to.
It builds a more stable dog.
Inconsistency will only confuse and stress them out.
