When Rusty was a pup I had to place a ball in his food to slow him down. He's a year & 1/2. I'd feed him the same amount that I'd feed Baxter. Baxter is 55 lbs and Rusty's only 30 lbs and thin. Lately he's slowed his eating down, way down, to the point of not being interested in his food after a couple of bites. He doesn't have any signs of a medical problem; has plenty of energy, drinking his normal amount, doing his busingess without a hitch, teeth look fine, has no problems eating treats.

What I am wondering is, do dogs after they are done growing change their eating habits?

Over the weekend I dropped his food quantity down to where a normal 30lb dog should be and if he didn't eat it after 10 minutes, picked it up.
