My puppy of 7 months has not been eating properly since almost 10 days. He eats one meal in two days that too, very little of the meal. He’s hyper and fine but not eating at all.

It sounds like Hershey may be bored with his food or getting other types of foods that makes him not want his dog food anymore. He otherwise sounds like he is happy and healthy. i would try to offer him a high quality dog food (canned food is very tempting for pets!) such as Royal Canin, Eukanuba, Evo or Hlil's Science diet. You can start with a canned food that is slightly warmed in the microwave to make it really aromatic. See if this temps him to eat a bit better. I hope that this helps and best of luck with your pet Hershey and his appetite. Take care.
