8 months old when did you stop lunch?

Our lovely Wheaten Terrier pup is seeing to be less interested in lunch recently (meaning she isn’t hustling us 😆) when did you revert to 2 meals and stop lunch? Seems there are various opinions.

I offered a smaller lunch and split most over breakfast and tea. Make sure she's not getting fat as her growth rate slows down now...

I stopped at 6 months old.

Oh a Wheaten Terrier?! So nice to hear of that breed as not many where I live. Pic required of course! Agree with others - 6 months if all other nutrition intake is ok. However, I'm at home a lot more these days and my two (2, 7), get a carrot each at lunchtime. But do it once and boy, they'll not forget 😉🤣🐾

Never. Golden retriever. Ten years old. She has less than the packet says and it's spread out over three meals. She's in very good heath.

Likewise @TheSunIsAlwaysThere Never. Mine have four meals a day.

@abracadabra1980 here’s a photo of her and thanks everyone for the advice!

Mine is 2 and eats 3 meals a day plus his bedtime snack. We’re home all day with him so it seems to makes sense for us to spread his meals out

Nothing to add except she is BEAUTIFUL!
