Dog Doesn't Like

Normally my goldendoodle scarfs down his breakfast and dinner but that hasn't been the case with this food. He's been eating some, but usually not more than half

Normally my goldendoodle scarfs down his breakfast and dinner but that hasn't been the case with this food. He's been eating some, but usually not more than half of it, and still has food in his bowl when it comes time for his next feeding. I've feed him half a dozen different brands but this is the first he's consistently left unfinished. I'm sure the food is good but, unfortunately, it's not the right one for my dog.
