ok he is a 6 month old cane corso, and i have him on wellness core fish blend, and i feed him 3 times a day about 2 cups 3 times a day, as of late he hasnt been eating all his food, he will eat like half then walk away.. and sometimes there will still be some left over from b-fast when he gets his dinner meal
i think it may be the food, but he needs to finish this bag before i try the chicken blend of the wellness core, its a pretty costly food.
so what i have been doing is adding canned alaskin salmon to his food and he has been eating it.
i dont want to have to add stuff to his food to get him to eat, and even when i do sometimes he doesnt finish it all, and its not liek he is full because last night i was cooking chicken after his meal and he was still hungry so i gave him the raw cuttoffs from the chicken and he scarffed them down.
do you think it may be the kibble should i keep doing what im doing then change the flaver of the kibble?
yeah as far as i know he is in good health, im trying to get his weight up a little for the winter, and no i wont free feed him untill he is about 2 years old..
i put the food in and when he is done i put it up but he used to eat the whole bowl of food, now he eats about half of it. he seems a bit skinny to me compared to his brother.
as of late i have been leaving his bowl out so he will finish his food..
every morning he gets plane yogurt, and lunch or dinner ill give him some grizzley salmon oil with his food.
am i doing something wrong, is it his kibble that he may not like. or is he really not that hungry lately?
yeah he is going in this sat for his first rabies shot and a parvo/distemper titers test, i mean he is eating jsut not the whole bowl , i give him about on and a half red plastic cups full each meal..
but i will tell the vet and see what he has to say im hoping its nothing and im sure it probably is, i guess im just a concerned parent lol

The best thing I've found is to put the food down for 20 minutes. At the end of that time, pick it up and put it away until the next meal whether he's finished or not. At that time put the same food down again adding ONLY enough to equal one meal's worth. And no food between meals or adding anything to the food you don't ordinarily feed. Personally, I would never free feed. Doing so just does not work well in most cases.
A healthy dog will not starve itself and by sheduling when and for how long a meal stays down you (1) teach the dog that he better eat while the food's available, (2) will know how much food your particular dog needs to maintain a healthy weight.
You don't want a large breed dog to grow too fast. Slow and steady is healthier.
