Dogs, like people, may not eat, but they can’t speak. Owners often don’t know why, so they can only worry. Let’s talk about why dogs don’t eat.
1. Stress response
Factors such as changing the environment, being frightened, sudden changes in weather, sudden changes in food, etc. may cause dogs to have a stress response and become unwilling to eat. In this regard, the owner can soothe the dog to relieve its nervousness and fear, and feed it an appropriate amount of probiotics. The dog will regain its appetite after it becomes familiar with the environment and its anxiety is relieved.
2. Picky eating
If the dog just doesn’t eat, but will eat other foods, then the main consideration is that it is due to picky eating. In this regard, owners can choose some more palatable dog food, mix some canned food appropriately to increase the dog's appetite, and at the same time take appropriate methods to correct the dog's bad habit. For example, if the dog is fed at regular intervals and is taken away regardless of whether it eats or not, it can generally be improved after a long period of training.
3. Causes of disease
Many diseases can cause dogs to lose their appetite, such as severe infectious diseases, gastroenteritis, oral diseases, liver and kidney diseases, endocrine diseases, etc. These diseases can cause damage or even pain to the gastrointestinal mucosa of dogs, resulting in loss of appetite or even loss of appetite. Owners need to pay more attention. Once they find that their dog has other abnormal symptoms, such as cough, runny nose, diarrhea, vomiting, etc., they should take it to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time.
