At 6 months old, he should be past the point of becoming hypoglycemic easily. My little one sometimes goes 24hours without eating (he's 5 and weighs 8 lbs, but he has been a poor eater since I got him at 8 weeks old). Changing the food a lot can make him an even pickier eater. I know many people home cook and cater specifically to their dogs likes and dislikes, but I have found that if I put out his food (a measured light 1/4 cup twice a day), Huey will eventually eat when he gets ready to. If he hasn't eaten what is in his bowl by the next scheduled mealtime, I just leave it until he does and feed again when it is gone. He eats Blue Buffalo Freedom.
I have found that if he won't eat, if I put his food in a treat toy (his favorite is the Nylabone Romp 'n Chomp wobbler), he goes nuts and will eagerly eat it all as quickly as he can get it out of the toy. This is the only way my hubby can get him to eat if I am out of town. |
