Feeding Schedule? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

What is a good feeding schedule for when you bring your Yorkie to it's new home? We will be getting our Yorkie at 12 weeks and I was wondering what a good schedule would be? I know I don't want to free feed. Of course, I am going to ask my breeder what times she is on now, but was wondering about what y'all did as well. Like how many times per day at that age and what times?

Thanks everyone!

I fed Riley 3-times a day.... breakfast.... around 6/7am
lunch... around 12:30pm... and dinner.... around 6/6:30pm.

Now he gets fed twice a day.... 6/7am and 6/6:30pm

As a puppy Kaos had that same 3x a day schedule.

Good evening!

We were told by our breeder 4x a day for the first 6 weeks (Harry was 12 weeks when we picked him up, too) then 3x per day after that.

Breakfast - 7 a.m. ish, early lunch - 12 noon, tea-time - 4 p.m. ish and dinner about 7.30 p.m. as that would see him through the night.

But then, this is England!!!
