Asking here as I'm not very experienced with dogs.
My 5 month puppy ( a Bedlington Terrier ) is just not interested in his food atm. He has been putting weight on fine up until now and is perky and always up for a walk.
Tuesday evenings I take him to Puppy Training which involves alot of treats/ cheese/chicken to encourage him so I'm not surprised when he doesn't want food after that or even the next morning.
If I give him left overs from what we have eaten he will wolf it down. But is constantly turning his nose up at his mixture of kibble and wet canned food and I mean regularly. He is a typical PFB and the food are brands with high nutritional content so I feel like they are of a decent quality.
Are dogs like children in that they won't starve themselves and will eat if they are hungry? And he is just not hungry?
Sometimes he comes and stands around me whilst I am cooking, around meal times as if he is hungry but then turns him nose up when his food gets put down for him.
I don't want to fuss and create a fussy eater but obviously regularly missing meals bothers me.
What do you experienced dog people think?
Thanks
