Sorry to start another food thread, and maybe this is just a coincidence, but the last few days our almost 8 month old (who LIVES to EAT!) stopped showing interest in his food. He actually loves to eat so much that he's had a slow feed bowl since the day we brought him home.
He is probably around 150/155 lbs now and we noticed that he stopped eating.... not completely, but he barely eats anything out of his bowl. We have noticed that he might only be eating 2-3 cups a day... if that. He is still peeing, and pooping(pooping a lot actually... 3x a day at least) ---- we wondered if maybe we got a "bad bag" (We feed TOTW Bison) so we opened one of our unopened ones and gave him some of that to see if he'd eat that and he really wasn't interested in that either. We have another dog, a yorkie, and he only eats as he wants to, so we haven't really noticed if he's ate less than normal or not as well.
We thought that maybe he was just getting older and slowing down on how he's eating, but it seems weird that it just happened over night and that he's eating probably less than half than he normally does. We haven't noticed any weight loss, and he's still drinking a lot, eating his normal treats (he LOVES carrots and apples) still playing and doing everything else normally.
I know it's probably hard to assume just based off of that, but do you think that it could just be that he's becoming un-interested in his food? Do you think it's bad food? This is our first EM and so we're at a little bit of a loss, and maybe nothing is even wrong, but I worry when he normally LOVES to eat and now he's not really interested.
I was just reading the other food thread, and thinking about switching to Earthborn Holistic? Any concerns with that food?
