Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Tony is adorable! Sometimes dogs want to eat once daily. Try to stop feeding him breakfast and feed his total daily amount at dinner. Growing up we only fed our Lab once daily at night. If you give him a lot of treats cut back by 50% so he eats his meals. I hope this helps and I wish you and Tony the best!
