My 10-month Doberman puppy won't eat breakfast but eats dinner.

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Doberman Pinscher | Female | unspayed | 10 months old | 28 lbs

My Doberman pinscher puppy is 10 months old and we feed her 6 cups of the natures domain puppy food from Kirkland a day divided into breakfast and dinner. Normally she eats like she is starving but for the last week she has been uninterested in her breakfast. She will eat dinner just fine. She has normal energy and no other GI problems. Should I cut back her food? We haven’t been to the vet in a while so I am unsure of her current weight and she had her spay at 6 months. Thank you in advance!

I wouldn't cut back Shelby's food just yet. A sudden change in appetite can be a sign of a medical issue, so I would schedule her a health check with the vet first to make sure everything is ok. She is beautiful, by the way!
