Like us, our pups can fluctuate in eating. As long as he does not drop weight or "get weak" from "starvation", you and he will be just fine!...I would free feed and and not become obsessed watching him eat. You can loose your sanity jumping from food to food to food, and you will confuse the pup and then the more you switch brands, the worse it gets for you all. It becomes a vicious cycle. FYI: There are hundreds of opinions on various brands....we all feed what we like. I have fed RC for at least 25 years and never had a dog that was malnourished. My breeding stock all eat formulas engineered to provide them what they need to make them the top notch athletes they are. Formulas are changed during gestation, after whelping, the entire time I have my babies, and I send them to new owners on RC. You can change to whatever you decide is best for you, but you certainly do not need to feel guilty about feeding RC!!

I didn't know that about RC.. Thanks for the info!
