Loss of appetite??

[katie_southwest]

My pup has started to lose her appetite slightly, she has small feeds at 8am, 2pm and about 7pm as she is on tinned food and it is a lot to give her in 2 meals. However the past couple of weeks she has been leaving some of her breakfast - I wonder if it is just because she is older now..when we first got her she used to wolf her food down like uv never seen before!
Or maybe I should try just 2 meals so she has longer to go between meals, so she will be more hungry?
Shes fine and full of beans as always but just doesnt seem to have the same appetite she did when she was younger...

We cut our pups food down to two meals when she was about 6 months.

People also suggest not leaving the food down all the time, so they have a window of half an hour to eat and then the food is lifted up - we did this as our pup was used to having ad lib food when she was with the breeder and rest of the litter.

Yes she is 6 months now so thats what I thought, maybe its time to cut down to 2 meals. We dont leave it out for too long as its tinned so dont like to leave it out for too long

When buds was 6 months we cut his meals down to twice a day

He went through a fase of turning his nose up his food for no reason, and he is a lab

So we gave him 20 mins ish and then took it up, he soon realised that if he didnt eat it then he missed out

What food have you got him on?? x Buds was on science plan untill about 10 months ish but he got bored of it and would leave half of it, he is now on bakers complete

Does not leave a single piece now

Shes on pedigree puppy, I think probably 3 meals is a bit much now for her. Perhaps if she only has 2 she will be a bit more excited about it
