You can try to top the food with some plain boiled chicken (no bones), canned chicken in water, or even plain chicken broth to entice him to eat. If he is an ideal weight (you can't see his ribs but he still has a waist) then I would try not to increase his food intake too much as I do not want him to become overweight. Some dogs have the personalities to graze and not eat all their food at once and this is ok! But if you feel like he needs to eat more, try some of the items mentioned above.
