No interest in Breakfast

[mckenzie]

Is this quite normal? 6 month old puppy has never been a greedy dog and will often leave food in his bowl. We offer breakfast every day and sometimes he eats a few mouthfuls and sometimes nothing at all.
He is raw feed.
He seems healthy in every other way. Guess I just answered my own question huh?
TIA.

[goshhhhhh]

Are you sure he hasn't eaten something like a sock ? Ours didn't eat as much then we found a sock in his poo. We were lucky!
He has a penchant for clothing - we care being v vigilant. I originally didn't think he would be able / daft enough to eat them. (if the dcs are not policed they helpfully leave them lying about.)

Our pup was like this with all meals and was healthy but losing weight. We made a switch to a raw diet and she has really improved and now leaps up on the mention of 'food' but I see yours is on raw already. How is his weight gain?

My 6 month old puppy never eats breakfast. I just don't think she's very hungry in the mornings.

Thanks for the replies. Definitely no socks but he does have a taste for wood when out in the parks which we are trying hard to get him out of.
He's been putting on about a kilo a month so far, roughly, and certainly doesn't look malnourished.

don't leave food down if he doesn't eat it. he shouldn't get any more until the next meal time.

[mckenzie]

I never do gymbob, especially because it's raw meat.

[Gymbob]

sorry missed that bit I suppose he'll eat if he's hungry

I guess your pup is not a lab!

Try giving a light snack at bedtime. This often helps them feel more like food at breakfast time.

I have had a couple who won't eat breakfast over the years. In fact DDog1 only eats breakfast because of DDogs2&3 and the mortal fear he is missing out. Even so it's just a small handful of kibble and he's normally last to finish that :o
