Labrador Retriever
Ordinary dogs often eat when they see food when they are hungry. It will appear very excited, so if we find that the dog is not interested in food or refuses to eat, we should pay attention to it and find out what is causing it. So let’s first talk about the factors that affect dogs’ eating.
1. The first is feed. If the feed is simple, has no novelty, has a peculiar smell, etc., the dog will also be reluctant to eat it. There is also the fact that the feed contains a large number of chemical condiments, or substances with pungent odors such as rich and spicy flavors, as well as particularly sweet or salty foods, which will affect the dog's appetite.
2. The second is that the feeding place is not suitable. If there are strong lights, noises, several dogs competing for food together, the presence of strangers or other animals disturbing them, dogs will stop eating.
3. The third reason is disease. If the above reasons are eliminated and the dog’s appetite has not improved, then you should consider whether it is caused by disease. At this time, you should pay attention to check whether there are any abnormalities in various parts of the dog's body, so as to find problems immediately and ask a veterinarian for treatment immediately.
Therefore, the freshness of the food itself and the presence or absence of peculiar smell, the surrounding environment and the dog's own physical condition will all affect the dog's eating. So the first thing we need to ensure is that the dog’s food is fresh enough and that the surrounding environment will not disturb them. If these two factors are eliminated and the dog still refuses to eat, then it is best to take them to the hospital for a check-up.
