Some dog owners have more or less encountered situations where their dogs do not eat and are not energetic. This situation often makes the owners feel very troubled. Today, the editor will tell you what to do if your puppy doesn’t eat.
1. Adjust the diet
If the owner only feeds the dog the same kind of dog food for a long time, the dog will stop eating when it gets tired of eating. In addition, if the quality of the dog food is too poor, such as insufficient flavor and too little meat content, it will not arouse the dog's appetite and cause the dog to not eat.
In this regard, owners need to adjust the dog's diet structure in time. They can add an appropriate amount of meat and vegetables to the dog's food, and then feed some fruit after the meal, paying attention to the mix of meat and vegetables. If the dog food you are feeding now has been eaten for a long time or the quality is too poor, you must change the dog food to another type of dog food in time, and pay attention to changing the food step by step.
2. Correct the bad habit of picky eating
If the puppy just doesn't eat, but will eat other snacks, it may be caused by picky eating. In this regard, it is recommended that the owner adopts training methods to correct the bad habit of the puppy's picky eating. At the beginning, you can put more food that the puppy likes, and then increase the amount of dog food, and gradually correct the puppy's behavior. At the same time, you should also pay attention to scientific and reasonable feeding, and do not feed your dog too many snacks and meats, otherwise your dog will develop a picky eating habit over time.
3. Check whether the puppy is sick
If the puppy's appetite is completely lost and symptoms such as listlessness, vomiting, and diarrhea are also present, it is likely to be caused by disease. For example, oral ulcers, gastroenteritis, acute pancreatitis, intestinal blockage, etc. can all lead to a loss of appetite in dogs, and further examination is required to confirm the diagnosis.
