The reason why a dog refuses to eat dry food is most often related to the pet's health.
The most harmless thing that can make a dog refuse food is heat or whims after the pet has been treated to something especially tasty.
Experts have named the most common reasons why dogs refuse to eat.
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 experts.
The first reason
Experts advise to think about the animal's digestion. Poisoning is possible after the dog picked up something wrong on the street or was treated to something wrong.
In this case, stomach upset, vomiting, etc. may occur.
The second reason
As already mentioned – bad teeth or gum disease.
In such cases, the dog will not eat even the best food.
The third reason
If the animal is stressed after a visit to the veterinarian or relatives, then its appetite may also disappear.
Don't forget that the dog may refuse to eat in the heat or start to be capricious, demanding something special. But in these cases, the help of a veterinarian is not required.
