Hi,
I'm new here! I have a 9 month old teacup yorkie. She is a very picky eater. She's 3 pounds she feels and looks tiny when she goes to the groomer and get all her hair cut. She has no health issues , What can I do to fatten her up? She currently eats Grain free precise holistic complete dry food, she's been eating it for a week. She was eating halo but it took her weeks to eat a small bowl of it. She eats this holistic good and she has good bowel moments daily. Another question is it okay for her to eat soft food?

Has your vet said she is underweight? I would not try to fatten her up until you talk to him because it that makes her overweight that to can bring lots of health problems. Also there is no such thing as a teacup the standard is not to exceed 7 pounds but even the yorkies over that are still just yorkies no special term. It was a word that bad breeders and puppy mills made up to jack up the prices of there pups.
