A dog’s sense of taste is slow and it relies on its sense of smell to “taste” food. When it smells that the food is not fresh or has a slight peculiar smell, it will refuse to eat; particularly sweet and salty food will also affect its appetite. Therefore, when preparing your dog’s food, generally do not add too many seasonings.

The reasons why your dog has poor appetite or refuses to eat are:

2. The female dog refuses to eat or only eats a small amount of food 12-24 hours before giving birth.

3. Mental stimulation, such as being scolded or in a state of fear, excessive fatigue, etc.

4. Low appetite caused by poor gastrointestinal digestion.

Do not reduce the amount of food it feeds, but increase the frequency of feeding to ensure the daily nutrition it needs. When a dog ignores its food anyway, it doesn’t matter if it’s hungry for a day or two. Adult dogs can go without food for several days. As long as they drink enough water, there will be no side effects. However, this is based on the fact that the dog is not sick. of.

In addition, attention should be paid to feeding at a fixed time, at a fixed point, and in a quantitative amount. Adult dogs should have a fixed feeding time every day. Whether they are fed once or twice a day, they must be fed at a fixed time. Do not leave food in front of it for too long. Let it finish it within 10-15 minutes. Food left for too long in summer can easily go bad and may cause diarrhea in your dog.

Quantification means that the amount of food and the frequency of feeding should be fixed every day, which is very important for it to develop good living habits, because once a dog forms a certain conditioned reflex, it is not easy to change.

Dogs have the habit of sleeping and eating in fixed places. After changing the feeding place, they will lose their appetite or refuse to eat.

In addition, the dog's food intake is related to the breed, age and season. Growing puppies eat more than adult dogs, and winter eats more than summer.
