My active puppy won't eat his food. Should I change it or add to it?

Question

Why won't my puppy eat his food? My 7 month old puppy seems to have lost interest in his food. He is an active, healthy puppy with a big appetite but he won't eat his food. I have to lock him and his food in the cage to get him to eat. He has no problem taking treats but it's a struggle to get him to eat his food. Should I change his food or add some tuna? I'm really confused. Pet's info: Dog | Australian Cattle Dog | Male | neutered | 7 months and 16 days old | 42 lbs

He may be too distracted playing to show an interest in his food unless confined. If you do switch his food to see if he prefers a flavor over another it is best to mix them and transition over a week In order to decrease an upset stomach.
