We feed him at 7am and 4:30 pm and lately he hasn't eaten his food from morning by 4:30pm.
What could it be????
Is this harmful that he is not eating?  |
How big is he? Puppies need lots more calories than adults, they are growing bones, teeth, and skin, and once they reach their adult size they only have to maintain their size so less calories are needed. I weigh Joey every week, just to make sure he's not losing or gaining too much. Also, depending on the amount of exercise you give him, he will want more food at certain time. I have also read, that some dogs don't llike to eat when their masters aren't at home. Maybe you could feed him first thing in the morning, if you aren't already.
