my two yorkies are like this always act like they are starving so put steamed green beans on food as it is very filling but keeping the weight down is so important for everything for them so try the green beans

We feed Bess twice a day- in the morning around 8am and at night at 6pm. 1/3 cup.

She weighs 6.5-7lbs. Our vet told us she needed to lose a pound, which she has. She's not fat by any means, but the doc said it's better on her knees if she stays at her current weight.

The problem is she seems to be begging for food more now. She wakes up at 6am and wakes us up. She starts begging for dinner around 4:30pm.

The only treats we give are tiny training bits when the dogs go out and poop. We also give her a tbs of yogurt daily.


We feed her Science Diet for Seniors. I think it's the weight management one.[/B]
