My dog doesn't eat in the morning.

In the morning, you wake up and the first thing you do is feed your loyal four-legged friend. After all, he must be hungry after a long night. You prepare his bowl of food, but he then leaves it untouched. He doesn’t even eat all morning! Why does my dog do that and what can I do to get him to eat again?

Why your dog leaves his food untouched in the morning

In the morning, you put down his food bowl and then leave it there for the rest of the day. You might think he should eat at some point, right? That’s true, but dogs are creatures of habit just like people, and we need to help them with that. Because you leave the food bowl out all day, your dog knows he can walk over to it anytime to eat a little. This can cause your dog to lose interest in the food.

How do I get my dog to eat again in the morning?

To make sure your dog eats again in the morning, you need to create a routine for him. Here’s how: put the bowl of kibble down for your dog in the morning. If he hasn’t eaten from it after fifteen to thirty minutes, take the bowl away. Your dog will then get fed again in the afternoon or evening (depending on the number of meals per day). After a few days, your loyal four-legged friend will realize he can’t have access to food all day and will eat his food bowl clean in the morning.
