It seems that over time you have figured out the right diet and nutrients for Pilot’s needs, and if it works, see how it goes. As I said before, my dog who is nine, recently did not have the same interest in morning food, but makes up for it later. If he is otherwise normal and is not losing weight I would not worry.
I still wonder if he has slight nausea in the mornings from his past illnesses. His GI system may not be up to speed yet. Also could he have an acidy stomach in the early morning after the night fast and need more tempting? Anyway, he does appear to be so much better and hopefully thriving, so try and be cool and not stress......yet anyway! Good luck, you are such a great and caring dog mom.
