What it could be

Loss of Appetite can have several possible causes

This section is not a diagnosis. It gives sensible possibilities to help you decide what to monitor and when to involve your vet.

Could be 1

Nausea, dental pain or stomach upset

Dogs may stop eating because their mouth hurts, they feel sick or their stomach is unsettled.

Could be 2

Pain, fever or infection

Reduced appetite is a common general sign of illness or discomfort.

Could be 3

Stress, routine change or food aversion

Travel, new environments, heat or sudden food changes can affect eating, but persistent refusal is not normal.

When to call a vet

Call your vet if your dog refuses food for 24 hours, is a puppy, vomits, seems painful, lethargic, loses weight or will not drink.
