Your Dog or Cat Not Eating? Here are 4 Possible Reasons & How You Can Fix It

Losing your appetite is a problem for anyone, but for your fur babies, it can be deadly.

Your pet's appetite can be a key indicator of their health. If you notice that your pet isn't eating as much as usual or is eating less of their regular food, it's time to take action.

But first, let's talk about a list of common problems that can affect your their appetite.

 

1.Anxiety/Stress
Oftentimes, our pets can also experience stress from changes in their environment or routine. Whether it be a result of separation anxiety, the loss of a family member, or some other change in their routine, their diet is one of the first things to be affected. They may simply refuse to eat, or if they do, they may even vomit after being greeted by their owners.

 

2. Picky Eater
Has your dog/cat finally had it with the same old food day after day? If you've been feeding your dog/cat the same food—or even just a few different foods—for months or years, they might be getting tired. On top of that, if you present them with a brand new option, they don't want it either!

 

3.Illness

When they stops eating, it's a sign that something is wrong. It could be due to an infection, dental disease, liver or kidney problems, or even cancer. The underlying cause is worth investigating, but in the meantime, you should make sure your dog has all the energy and nutrients they need to fight off their condition.

 

4. Post Surgery
After surgery, your pet may be reluctant to eat for a day or two. This is normal and usually lasts just a short time. But for some pets, the effects linger. We must give them recovery diets that have increased calories, protein, and fat meaning even if your dog eats less they still get the nutrients they need. 


Regardless of the cause, our dogs and cats require daily nourishment. So while the cause of your fur friend’s apparent lack of interest in their dinner might be a mystery, the fact that they are not eating remains a problem that requires action.

Various supplements for energy and nutrients exist, such as Nutriplus Gel, the original, highly palatable energy supplement for cats and dogs.
