Question
my 2 yr old foxie/yorkie will eat anything!she dumps the trash,gets on the table,and if something hits the floor you better be real quick or it's gone.she weighs 14 lbs.active and healthy,is fed purina+lilceasers mixed.i can't beleive she is just that hungry.help!!

Answer
Hi Patrick,  I have a little dog that does the same.  It can just be a habit and  nothing to do with major hunger.  You can try giving a better food?  PURINA is just and average food.
Look for a Holistic food with NO CORN...

Also, for a healthy and filling snack try 1/4 can of Green beans -  between meals.
Rinse them unless they are the no added salt green beans.  ( or cook up some fresh ones)
Add a dash of Olive oil and a dash / pinch of Garlic Powder.. YUM

You can do green beans or was beans 1/4 to 3/4 can per day --- just spread it out and don't give a full 3/4 can at one sitting.

You can also add some Sweet Potato to her meals - 1/2 a small sweet potato every OTHER day....


HOPE this helps!
