Dog not eating,---Causes

It’s normal to worry about a dog not eating food. Sometimes, the situation arises simply because the dog dislikes the food. Other times, the situation signals a health issue that needs attention. If you have a dog not eating food, assess the situation.

Make sure the food you offer you pet is fresh. Old, stale food is not appetizing. If you have other pets, verify the dog not eating food is not snacking from other pet bowls or the garbage. Ask neighbors or other family members if they are giving out snacks to your pet. Your dog may simply be full from treats.

Like humans, dogs like variety in their diet. A dog not eating might be bored. Try a different food. This easy solution often leads to immediate positive results. If the dog still does not eat, you’ll need to investigate more.

If you find yourself asking “why is my dog not eating,” start by answering the following questions.

• Are other health issues apparent? Vomiting? Diarrhea?
• How long has the dog gone without food?
• How old is the dog?
• Is the dog drinking?
• What breed of dog do you own?
• What has changed in the dog’s lifestyle?
• What have you been feeding him/her?Symptoms

Many health issues cause a dog to stop eating. They include:

• Bowel obstructions
• Cancer
• Dog pancreatitis
• Heart disease
• Hormonal disorders
• Kidney disease
• Liver disease
• Tooth decay

Today's Tip: Which Carbs are Good and which are bad for your dog?

Too Much or Too Few Carbs in your pets dog food?
Carb deficiencies can result in possible fertility and whelping problems

Excessive carbohydrates cause obesity.


These are Good Sources of Carbs
Cereals

Rice

Pasta

Potatoes

Oats

Barley

Brown rice


A Bad Carb..

Soy is also a carb provider, but some experts warn that soy binds up other nutrients and makes them unavailable for absorption.

Avoid soy to be safe.

Soy is also often used as a protein source instead of meat because its cheap... however its inadequate as a protein source also.

Really, the easiest way out of this puzzle is to simply use one of the 9 dog foods we recommend (we have no relationship with the companies that make these foods).
