I have 2 yorkies also, and I leave their food out from 12noon to 6pm and pick it up. I don't know if you're trying to put weight on them but mine are happy and healthy dogs.

Correction on the earlier measurement. I forgot I use my own Doggy cup which is 1/3 c. So just about... 1/6 c per serving and 1/4 per serving, twice daily.

Feeding too much. At 6 lbs, they should only get a little less than 1/2 cup a day.

As long as they are not gaining weight with the amounts you are providing them you should be good to go. I add a little Wellness canned turkey to my pom and papillons meals with a little warm water and they love it. This is such a great dog food for small breeds.

Seems like a lot. I have a 10 lb min-pin/Chihuahua mix and she gets 1/3 cup total split over two meals. She really loves this food so I worry that she'll end up putting on weight if I feed her more. As another person mentioned, just keep a close watch on the weight to see if they're getting bigger.

The website feeding guide has 1|2 to 3/4 cups a day for 5-7 pounds. Look at the dog food website. s. So you are in the middle of the range. If you want to go up a bit you can.

If youre asking how much to feed, i think it depends on your dogs.I have 2 poms weighing 7-8 lbs, feeding them 2x a day. One I feed 1/2 per serving (bc he's overweight) and the other 3/4 per serving (normal weight and very active). Yet they appear to be hungry, but these portions seem to maintain their weight in the long run.

Sounds about right to me! I have an abused Papillon rescue guy who weighs about 12 pounds now. He had diarrhea for the 1st 3 months I had him, but the Wellness small breed core diet fixed him and now he's right as rain! He had been starved and given 1 cup of kibble A WEEK, had his tail broken by the "lady of the house" (NO LADY!), and now he's a delight. I give him a good handful of the Wellness in the morning and at night and he gets baby carrots for a treat if he eats well! HE LOVES CARROTS (just about any kind of "people food", even romaine lettuce!)GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR YORKIES.

My 7 lb Yorkie gets 1/3 of a bonelet every day. We noticed a big difference when she didn't get them while I was on vacation.

Definitely check with your vet first! I have a 6lb. chihuahua with a few digestive issues so her vet said to split up packet for two meals. She's doing much better and is a better eater, too!

I feed my shih-tzu about 3/4 or the whole can per day. Do separate portions of the food though, feed him/her 2-3 times a day. And always keep water with them while eating.

I just break up 1/2 of one into small bites. Then after she eats so goes and drinks water, clean and easy especially when traveling. She is gaining weight, I also feed her some kibble after the disk of freeze dried.

our mini poodles have two meals a day > dry kibble and "The honest kitchen" which is Delv. dehydrated and must be mixed with warm water. On each dish I place two tbl. spoons of mixed Honest Kitchen with dbl the amount of PlaqueOff thats recomended, add dry kibble on top.

I feed my two guys wellness because I was looking for something wholesome with out grain. I also mix crushed broccoli and small peas( that I buy frozen and cook potions in microwave) with the food to add volume. They LOVE it. I have a Shorkie (Shituz/yorkie mix) and a small chihuahua.

My dog is about 45 pounds and I give him a whole scoop at dinner. So I would say give your dog a little less then a half of scoop.

It's supposed to be for these breed because it gives them a good amount of protein and grains without making them overweight. I feed my shnauzer once a day and she weighs the same. As long as I just give her that food and avoid too many treats or house food.

I have a 10 pound yorkie and this will last me approx. 5 months. I have been feeding my dog this food for 3 yrs. and have had no issues at all. She loves the stuff.

I have a different type of food now so I can't look to give a size comparison, but my yorkie didn't have a problem with the size. I don't think it's specifically made for small dogs like some foods are.

We have two 14 month old Boston Terriers (siblings). The girl weighs 16 lbs and the boy has finally topped out at 27 lbs. I feed the girl 3/4 of a cup of this Wellness Core dry food twice a day and I feed the boy about 1 cup twice a day. They maintain their weight without losing or gaining on this amount of food. Good luck with your Boston.......they are the very best little companions. We lost our 13 year old Boston about 6 months ago to cancer and lost our 10 year old male 4 months ago to a heart attack. We miss them so much.

I think I would do it slowly - mix the two. I personally feed my dogs both. They get kibble in the morning and Honest Kitchen at night. I feel like this way they get more variety in their diet, and they don't get bored with it. (I add in some canned as well in the am. with the kibble - just a bit).

I feed my dogs a chihuahua and shorkie once a day. I cook frozen chopped broccoli and green peas (1/4 cup each ) add 1/2 cup of Wellness and 1/2 can of wet food, stir and watch him lick the bowl. Vegs are a filler make allows to give more volume without over feeding.
