Feeding

There are situations when the lack of appetite is not due to illness, but to a change in food. If the food seems unattractive to the animal, it will stop eating it.

To solve the problem, you need to change your pet's diet gradually, not immediately. You can also offer your dog treats that it likes.

When introducing new food into the diet, it is better to consult a specialist.
