That's cute...
Mines just the opposite, he doesn't hardly like the dog treats
'milk-bones' assorted flavors or the 'Marrow treats' he used to love either
in the mornings
I'd put 1 of each on his food so he'd eat, he'd scarf down his allotted serving like 2 cups
& 2 lil' treats, 7-ish am, daily (same at 4-pm-ish)
now he doesn't eat it until after my dad gets up & has his breakfast
& dad lets Barron lick the plate with eggs tators toast, or oatmeal, or cereal & almond milk etc.
then by about 2-3pm-ish
he'll finish off (maybe) what dog food, that I put in his bowl at 7-ish am
then he's ready for 'his treats' from dinner, I feed my dad at 5-pm usually
(
how many times dad eats you'd think he'd be fat, he's like 135#s skinny,
he was 185#s in his prime, sad to see)
Baron used to scarf 2 servings of 2 cups, daily of his dog food 7-am-ish & 4-pm-ish
I only put food in his bowl once a day now, like 3 cups (maybe) probably less
my lunches or dinners, he gets a couple of scraps, bites, licks
not much, usually meat &/or trimmings off the meat,
he loves fruit too

all my labs have
(I rarely do breakfast, just coffee)
he gets spoiled rotten with
& all 3 of dad's meals, & all his lil' snacks/cookies or ice cream, in between
lays his head on his/dad's knee, gives him the puppy eyes
he gets bites, dad's a softy
now Baron,
he doesn't eat his food/treat at breakfast or rarely does
(not dog food or dog treats anyway)
he nibbles on it all thru the day, mostly like he pushes it around
like he's looking for something better
he'll eat anything human food, no matter the time or even if he's full
he's just figured the system out, better treats/food for humans
he's 15 months on the 15th, this month...
Typical Lab, chow hound,
it's strange he's just not eating as much dog food
as he used to, he's/Baron's not starving by any stretch... he's 100#s
I'm about to change to adult formula dog food too,
been mixing in the puppy food with adult 1/2 & 1/2, for a couple (2) months now...
Time to go adult only food, same brand same flavor...
