Why Your Dog Has Stopped Eating

• Over feeding – Adult dogs only need 2-3% of their body weight in food.
• The weather – Hot weather slows metabolism & digestion, meaning dogs may eat less in summer months.
• Feeding extra foods – Feeding raw, treats and human food is simply too much. We suggest feeding just raw to promote healthy gut microflora. Treats should be factored into daily allowance.
• Dogs are good self regulators – Dogs closest ancestors (wolves) often live by feast or famine. Therefore dogs going without food for a few days is fine.
• Food being left out – Raw food is fresh and shouldn’t be at room temperature for more than 20 mins. If not eaten in this time, put back in fridge for the next meal.

• Remember a healthy dog wont starve itself.
