Our (not particularly food centric) 3yo 15kg Terrier cross has changed his eating habits. I'm not concerned, he still eats all his food...........eventually.

He has the recommended 200g of Arden Grange each day. We always used to give him 100g at breakfast and 100g in the evening. Meal times were an event with an excited dog

While we were on holiday a few months ago he started ignoring his breakfast until midday. The habit has continued, dinner is always scoffed even if he has only just finished his breakfast. yum

Weight's okay, good activity levels & plenty of energy, faeces okay, drinking okay.

I was thinking maybe of feeding once a day, anyone else do this?

As long as he's eating, it doesn't really matter when he eats it. Some dogs will stuff their faces until the bowl is empty, no matter how much you give them. If he's happy eating as and when he wants I'd just give him 200g in the morning. Obviously assuming there aren't any other dogs who're going to eat whatever he leaves.

Thanks. I'm not worried, he's quite healthy and no other dogs in the house so I may try you're suggestion.
