Here are some things you can try to encourage your dog to eat, but always talk to your vet first:
* Warm the food up slightly. The smell of warm food can be enticing to some dogs.
* Add a small amount of wet food or broth. The extra moisture and flavor can make the food more appealing.
* Top with a small amount of cooked meat or cheese. Just be sure to choose lean, unseasoned options.
* Try a different brand or flavor of dog food. Sometimes dogs simply get bored with their food.
Important Note:
* Never add human food to your dog's diet without consulting your vet. Many foods that are safe for humans are toxic to dogs.
* If your dog continues to refuse to eat for more than 24 hours, please seek immediate veterinary attention.
