Winnie has gone through stages....when she was a baby I fed her 4 times a day....and she was a good eater. Then she stopped wanting to eat in the morning first thing and would ask for food around lunch time. Her desire to eat first thing in the morning has fluctuated. Now that she is potty trained and tells us when she needs to go out I put half of her daily amount out in the morning and leave it. When that is gone I fill with the other half. It's almost always gone by the end of the day. I have heard it suggested to try sprinkling parmesean cheese to entice them to eat, soak with a little warm water to make a gravy, or mix in a small amount of yogurt or soft puppy food. Those are all suggestions I have heard but not tried myself. The method I used was to sprinkle with probiotic powder. That almost always got her to eat at least a few pieces and made me comfortable that she wasn't gonna get hypoglycemic.
