My dog stopped eating
Breed pug

He used to eat 4 times a day previously but from some days he has stopped eating at night
And also he doesn't like to eat in the early morning
But he eats his lunch with the same excitement
And also eat biscuits in the evening
Should I feed him 2 times only from now onwards?
My mom was suggesting to give him his dinner in the evening only and skip the biscuits
Please suggest something our family is worried about his health

Dogs don't need three or four meals a day. They can eat one full meal and be healthy also. Due to our three meal system, we trained our dogs also like that. So, nothing to worry about. If he eats his two meals in a good way, he will be fine.

Feeding two big(bigger than previous) meals now is appropriate. Maintain timing of feeding constant. Biscuits are ok. Small in number but make sure it is not human biscuits.
You may do what your mom suggests. But maintain a gap of atleast 8 hrs in two meals.
Next Steps
despite these steps if he's not eating properly please consult
