My healthy puppy isn't eating much. Is this a cause for concern?

Question

Hi! I'm a bit concerned about my puppy Pancake, she's not eating her food and I've changed it to see if it is because she doesn't like it anymore but she won't eat enough food for her weight, what can I do? She's eating Pedigree for puppies and according to her vet she's completely healthy. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 5 months and 5 days old | 44.09 lbs

If she is maintaining a healthy weight and growing steadily then I would not be concerned. Feeding guidelines are only an indication and are an average no t a requirement. If you vet determines she is healthy then I would continue to monitor her body condition score and growth
