We actually thought about that because of her size and how cat food comes in tiny cans

If you are feeding her food that doesn’t give you a good estimate for a dog that size, then you are likely feeding her the wrong kind of food.

Buy dog food for small breeds. Should have more accurate feeding estimates and more likely something she can chew and digest given her size.

Yorkies are notorious for IBS. Get some medicated dog food.

We have a 90/100lb dobe. He eats 2lbs of raw meat and vitamins twice a day.

His teeth are pearl white, his coat is like velvet, and his turds are huge.

Do you free-feed or on a schedule?


Free feeding is why dogs and people are fat.

Reminds me of a Ridgeback I used to have, my wife and I had picked up a 10pc box of chicken each ate a piece and went to the neighbors for about 15 minutes. When we got back he had gotten the box off the counter and eaten all 8 pieces. We freaked but apparently, all the bones went through him without issue as he lived 6 more years.

The OP's post reminds me how glad I am I haven't had a dog that required portioned food in over 15 years, dogs that can free feed and not get overweight are a blessing.

How could I forget.

My personal favorite was after 20+ threads asking how to plan a trip to Italy (it's Italy not Somalia, do some research), he decides to post a thread asking for a dinner recommendation within the next 30 minutes in the neighborhood in Rome he was in.

Congrats on the teeth extractions. Feed dry food. Those breeds may have the worst teeth possible besides dachshunds.
