Our dog suddenly becomes disliked to eat one day, and watching it eat very little every day is a very painful thing. What should we do? First of all, we should understand several reasons for anorexia in dogs and prescribe the right medicine.

The dog has some internal problems in its body, such as gastrointestinal diseases, colds and fevers that can cause anorexia. At this time, the first thing to do is to treat the dog's physical problems, and the dog will slowly return to normal.

Seasonal changes, dogs are not adapted to changes in climate and temperature, such as the weather suddenly becomes stuffy, not to mention that dogs have no appetite, and even people are the same; if the weather suddenly becomes cold, dogs are the same. They would roll themselves up and hide in small corners, not wanting to come out.

Dogs can become depressed or even anxious because of intimidation or their owners treat it badly. Some parents are usually more strict with dogs, which makes the dog feel very scared and afraid of their owners, so they also have anorexia problems. They are usually better, more patient and more gentle.

Some parents often lock dogs in their rooms and there are no other small animals to accompany them at home. Over time, dogs can develop depression, become slow to move, depressed, and can’t refresh themselves, let alone eat normally. Faced with this situation, the owner must accompany the dog more, take it out to play with other similar people, and establish a social circle for the dog. Depending on the degree of depression, the dog will recover slowly.

Dogs can eat well in about 1-4 months. Anyone who has raised dogs knows that during that time, they basically ate everything because dogs are very small and need food to supplement during their growth stages and do not know how much to eat. But as the dog grows up, he knows how much it is appropriate to eat, so the dog will not eat as active as before and often eat hungry instead of eating appetizing like before.
