LOSS OF APPETITE

Why has my dog lost interest in her food?

Although not nearly as common as overeating, loss of appetite can be a problem for some pets. Dogs will lose interest in food for a number of reasons, including sickness, stress, and dental problems, as well as the trauma of recovering from an illness or injury. A decrease in appetite is also sometimes associated with the normal aging process. It is always recommended that you see a veterinarian to eliminate any underlying medical cause of the appetite loss.

For an immediate solution, try adding an appetite enhancer to your dog’s food. Some dogs will respond to a change in their diets by refusing to eat. In these cases, an appetite enhancer can be used to encourage dogs to accept the new food. However, it is often more advisable to try introducing your pet to a new brand of food without enhancers if possible.
