Dry food for dog owners is a real lifesaver, because you can save a lot of time on cooking porridge and other dog dishes.
In addition, the food is a balanced set of useful substances and microelements. But there are cases when the dog refuses dry food.
Experts explained what could have happened and why the dog started acting up.
Reason one: teeth
It's the same as with people. If you have a toothache, will you gnaw on crackers? - writes "Veterinary Science and Life" with reference to the opinion of experts.
It is possible that your dog has a toothache or other gum problems.
Reason two: digestion
Food poisoning should not be ruled out. It is quite possible that the dog ate something during a walk or someone in the household treated the dog to something that it should not have.
In this case, digestive problems, upset stomach, vomiting, and pain may begin.
It is also worth remembering about infectious diseases and parasites.
Reason three: stress
Dogs are emotional creatures and experience separation from their owner painfully.
Your pet may also be upset by a visit to the veterinarian, visiting relatives, noisy companies, and so on.
Let's not forget about weather conditions - in hot weather, animals can easily refuse to eat.
And the dog can also show character: after the animal has been treated to tasty food from the table, the dog will expect a new portion.
