My puppy won't eat for hours in the a.m.

My mini-schnoodle is 9 months old and usually eats 2 meals a day. Lately she won't eat in the morning so I put her food up til her next mealtime...then she usually gets down to it and eats it all in minutes...she is otherwise healthy...we are in winter here so her activity level is down a bit but she is peeing/pooing normally, acting fine, sleeping all night etc., Is this normal for winter months? Should I try to give her the entire days ration in one meal a day? If so, is one meal a day okay?

So long as she is keeping a good weight, and otherwise healthy, I would not worry if she does not always want breakfast. But I would probably continue to offer it to her anyway, just in case. Sometimes appetites come back, and little dogs in particular, need food more often than big dogs.

Mine decided she wants to eat brunch instead of breakfast. With yours I would offer the food from breakfast maybe a little later , if not eaten add to the dinner meal.
You dont want her to loose weight.
