Puppies/Dogs not Eating

Hi Friends

Hope you'r all well not sure If this in right place just wondered if any of you think puppies/dogs go of there food ???
Reason I ask is Ziva didn't eat her breakfast this morning and only had couple of mouthfuls this evening she on Arden Grange puppy junior and small amount of Natures Menu puppy now she has been on Arden Grange since since being at Breeders and I introduced Meat at 4 months.

Can they go off there food or maybe she just not hungry , I don't think its hormones as she nearly 6 months on 15th Sept but don't no if they go of their food. I'm not overly worried but If she doesn't eat breakfast in morning I will get in touch with Vet.

Any suggestions

Cheers
Marie & Ziva x

 

I'd say if it continues, a vet check is a good idea.

But they can just get fussy, yes. If nothing is wrong with her, you can stick it out (she'll eat eventually) or try a different food.

Just a thought though - I'd say the single biggest reason we hear on the forum for a dog suddenly going off their food is there is something wrong with the food. Kibble that has been stored incorrectly, or got damp, or not been used up by the sell by date etc. Quite a few people (including me) have had this experience.

 

Hi Julie T

It's a fresh bag that arrived last week and I keep it in air tight bin.

I leave it down for 15 min then lift it up. She has always been a very slow eater even stopping few mouth full's in and having few sec rest lol lol before continuing .

 

Morning Bit of weird one this ..... Put half Ziva's breakfast down this morning and she never went near it left for 10 min but decided to put her meat into another bowl then put it back down and she ate it .....so lifted soup bowl up and put some dry into into it again she ate it

Could this suggest she doesn't like her normal bowl lol lol

 

Is it possible that the bowl is somehow contaminated?

I once had a cat that refused to eat, I eventually discovered that there was some rancid food tucked into a cranny underneath.

 

If a different bowl works and Ziva eats happily go for it

 

Molly No I don't think so it just stainless steel inside but lilac on outside but not sure what Its made from bought at pets at home.



MaccieD Yes totally agree lol lol she ate her dinner tonight no probs so will try again in morning and see how wee go will let you all no.

 

Sounds as if the problem maybe sorted perhaps she doesn't like lilac fir her bowl

 

MaccieD She ate her breakfast from new bowl took her few moments before she went to it but that's normal.

will see what happens come tonight Hubbe will be feeding her as I'm out for Dinner

 

Fingers crossed that Ziva continues eating out of her new bowl. Enjoy your evening out

 

Well, lilac is obviously not her colour.

 

Ziva still continues to eat from new bowl lol lol have put her Lilac one in cupboard but will bring out again soon just to kill my curiosity

Thanks All x

 

Pleased to see a problem solved so easily .

 

Thanks MaccieD

Onwards and upwards ....till the next issue lol lol x

 

Glad that the bowl changed fixed it.

You are right, there always is another issue.
