Ok our girl is a year and half old and well she has always ate dog food ONLY and some treats when she does tricks for us. Well ok she will get a few bits of a cracker or small pice of cheese every so offten but not much at alll..... well a week ago she went off her food, she wont eat it, like she got tired of it, well we tried a few different dog foods to see if it was the food and well she turned her nose to them. So i told my mom "she will eat when she is ready" well umm days go by and she wont touch her food, she will go to her bowl and look for some so we give her some dog food and she walks away....

So i looked up on the web how to make home made foods and found i can use rice, chicken, peas, carrot. mix it and feed that to her. so i did that and she ate it just fine she acted like she was starving.... any way so i tired this out to i put some of her dog food in it and she ate it for a day or two now she does not even want the food i made. So what could be wrong? how do i get her back on her dog food, she has a picky tummy so not just any dog food can go in her :(

Picky tummy means some food upset her tummy. She has been like that sense a pup, when we got her she was on Pedigree pup food and it was giving her bad diarhhea, so we switch her to blue bufflo and well she did really good with that for a good while than one day she started vomiting, having diarhhea and acted VERY sick, we freaked out and took her to vet and they said try changing food so we did a full change and WOW she did not vomit or have diarhhea even tho we changed her fully in one day. Any way we put her on teast of the wild hard food and natural balance can food, she loved it and ate it for a goooood while, than well she started acting like she got board of it a little, so we got some cans of canidae and she loved that and started eating both types of can food. well i think we have try a few others but can't rmember what ones but see my mom is very picky one whats in the food and what she gives her. Our dog to my mom has to have only the good stuff.

She has acted normal over the week now she plays and runs and acts like her self, she has ate a little bit of dog food over the week but not much at allll not like her self. She has ate a little dog treats but she does not get alot at all. Maybe 1 or 2 a day when we get her to do her tricks but these are small milk bones so there nothing to fill her up with. And yes she is drinking her water normal. Her pop is normal to just not very much of it cause her belly is empty :\. Reason we have not took her to any vets was because she is acting so normal her self, just not normal with her food.

Can you give us a better idea of how much she's eating? There's a big difference between not eating at all, eating like half the normal amount and just leaving a little bit of food in the bowl.

If she's been eating only a very small amount (like a mouthful only for several days) I would take her to the vet. Who knows what could be wrong, but once a dog gets hungry enough they should be eating.

If she's just eating a little bit less than normal, she could just be regulating her own weight. Sydney does this occasionally. She just won't eat as well for a couple of days and then go back to normal.

well little bit means well she wont touch her dog food but she will eat maybe now a spoon full of the cooked stuff, and thats only maybe one time in the day. She will eat a treat tho but we dont feed treats like there food.

Good news, my dad went out and bought this can of 4healh dog food. Well not the best in the world but she ATE IT!!! so now we know whats wrong, she got board of what she was eatting and wanted something new. Well we are going to get another good food and feed her so we happy now :D
