Topic Dog Boards / Feeding / Puppy dropping meal

Our new addition who is 4 months old is no longer wanting his afternoon meal!

It doesn't make any difference if I decrease his evening or morning meals???

Is this a problem? He is quite porky so i'm not concerned with his weight! ;-)

If he is not interested, then drop it, but put a LITTLE extra in his other meals. :-)

If he is porky then don't increase the other meals until he is a bit slimmer.

I will do, I think maybe because our eldest dog doesn't have an afternoon meal that has made him un-interested?

Oh don't get me wrong he's not what I would call overweight but he isn't really slim. Our eldest boy has always been very slender (not skinny) so to me that youngest is porky although he may be just right to other people. :-)

I have found that pups will drop a meal when they can eat enough at other meals for their needs.  Mine usually drop to 3 meals by three months and the last two have dropped to 2 meals by 4 1/2 - 5 months, where I would normally have them on three until about 6 months.
