What to Do if Your Dog Won’t Eat

If your dog’s lack of appetite is caused by an illness, your vet may suggest a prescription diet to suit your pet’s dietary requirements while the underlying illness is treated. Particularly if your dog is familiar with frequent treats or human food, these diets might occasionally seem bland.

If your dog’s reduced appetite is a behavior issue brought on by pickiness or discomfort during mealtime instead of the result of a medical problem, there are a few things you may do to encourage your pet to eat.

Your dog’s appetite may occasionally be stimulated by adding flavor to its food. Try heating wet food, combining dry and wet food, or putting warm water in their dish of food. Low-sodium soup or tuna water are also favorites of many dogs.

You might be successful with the “placebo” strategy if you believe your dog is being overly dramatic. Pretend you are preparing or removing food for your dog from the stove or refrigerator.
