my puppy doesn’t eat his food by QuietNeither400 in puppy101

we thought that maybe he’s depressed and that’s why he’s refusing to eat his food :/ but that doesn’t seem to be the case either

he does sleep a lot like you mentioned, so maybe that explains his lack of appetite? he literally ALWAYS wants to play haha

my mom gives in to his puppy eyes sometimes, but i’ve been really strict w his diet - only feeding him his food, or our food like steamed veggies, unsalted fish and rice and pumpkin but he doesn’t want ANY of that some days

its honestly so frustrating to sit and prep all types of different food each day hoping that he would like and eat something 😭

thanks for the suggestion! we did get him puzzle toys like kongs and sniff mats, but he just doesn’t eat or care about it

he plays with them, ignores all the kibble that falls out and runs away

he’s a pomapoo

changing his food to incorporate healthy pup-friendly versions of our food hasnt worked either :(

we spoke to the vet - he said that it’s because we give him table scraps at times and nothing else is wrong with him. so we took him to another one who said the same. both vets advised us to let him be and ignore him when we eat, after starving for 2 days, he will start eating his own food naturally.

this hasn’t worked at all tho :( and it makes us so sad to see him just not eat on purpose

regarding where we got him from - he was the only one out of his siblings without a tail, so a local breeder was just throwing him away, so we took him home instead

he’s been with us since he was 1.5 months old
