Question

My 6 month old Labrador mix puppies won't eat theo r food while the weather is hot outside ants and flies keep messing with their food do I take it up til night time or leave it I have already changed out their food 3 times

I would definitely take it up at night, as you don't want insects to get into their food. Try feeding them in a cool area when it's hot, and make sure they always have access to plenty of fresh, cool water.
