One reason I can think of is that since the weather here is very humid, the food can easily spoil, that's why she's not touching the leftover food anymore. |
You don't have to fill a large bowl, you can give her usual morning food, and if she finishes it, add another tablespoon. If it goes stale rapidly, throw out the tablespoon in a few hours and give her another tablespoon, and see if she eats it. I do believe some dogs are more finicky and don't want what they perceive as leftovers, but it's not like you have to throw out large amounts of food, maybe just a couple of tablespoons until you learn her eating patterns.
