I have a 4 year old border collie who has always been a good eater, not fussy just always eaten his food straight away when it's put down.
But recently it's like he's gone off his food. He will eat some breakfast, maybe 1/3 of what we give him then sometimes eats the rest through the day but sometimes doesn't eat it until dinner time so that I'm not sure whether to give dinner as normal or a reduced amount, he does usually eat his dinner but sometimes in two goes.
He's always had dry food but we have been giving some wet food recently to try and encourage him to eat and he is eating that much better.
I thought it could just be that he's getting a bit older so eating more slowly or just needs less but the fact that he's enjoying the wet food more suggests maybe not.
We're feeding the amount suggested on the pack for his weight, and he is very active nothing changed in amount of exercise he gets.
Not really keen to move to 100% wet food because of storage space and needing fridge space for opened containers. Also seeing as he's 19kg it's going to work out more expensive than dry.
But thinking a freeze dried type that you add water to could work, or possibly wet food as a topper for dry? Any recommendations?
He isn't fussy on flavours I don't think but can have a sensitive tummy and does better with grain free.
Currently on pooch & mutt dry food, also likes Tails, lily's kitchen dry (but not their wet food) or James Wellbeloved grain free
