Hi everyone, rosie is  my westie, nearly seven months now , she loves her food in the morning but isnt really interested in another meal for the rest of the day , any advice ????

Hi, If she has been regularly wormed and is happy and lively then I wouldn't worry.  Westies (and many breeds) can go quite lean and leggy at this age and many good eaters seem to lose their appetite a little. Some have nearly reached adult size at 7 months and they slow down their intake as the very fast early growth slows down. What do you feed her on?  She may still be changing her teeth too, in which case this would put her off eating as much as she usually does.

The food she likes is ceasar but i mix with biscuits, i think has all her second teeth now, yes she is wormed when she should be, she is very very lively and happy , she never sits still....lol , i just thought maybe she should still be having two meals a day.  but i must add she would never say no to a bit of what im eating if i let her ....

Bev,

Just feed her the one meal she's interested in and give her a biscuit at the time she normally would have had her second.  She'll be fine.  A seven month old Westie has nearly reach her adult size, so she is over her fastest stages of growth and is letting you know she does not need to eat as often.
