Pup won't eat

For the last week or longer, our Buddy won't eat very much out of his bowl, but this morning, I picked up some food out of his dish and hand fed him. He ate his whole meal this way.

Any other ideas? Maybe change bowls? He backs totally away from his dish. Hmm?

What's his schedule like? Try to set up specific times when he eats and minimize the distractions when he's trying to eat. Be consistent with his feeding schedule and don't be lenient with it. Maybe try introducing a new brand to him to?

Thanks. Yes, we feed him morning, noon and about 6pm. We did pick up a sample of another brand today and mixed it with his usual food and he ate it all up. Let's hope this continues. Thanks again.
