We have a nova scotia Duck Tolling retreiver who is now 8 months old. We feed him twice a day 7:00 and 5:00. In the the last week he is only half of the food at both feedings. The vet says everything is ok with him. Should he now be fed once a day?

I would think that if the vet says everything is ok and he's growing at a normal rate the dog may just not be hungry or he doesn't like the food. When the dog hits another growing trend he will probably start eating more, so I would keep feeding the dog 2x/day and monitor his progress but if he starts to loose weight or doesn't seem to have much energy I would make a return visit to the vet. I am also in search of a female duck tolling retreiver and can't find any at this time, if anyone knows where I can find one of these breeds please let me know.
