Dogs are usually known for being hearty eaters, but there are some times when a dog may lose his appetite.

If your dog loses his appetite for a day or two, there’s probably nothing to worry about. If your dog is feeling a bit under the weather, or if it’s really hot, he may not eat like his usual self.

If your dog doesn’t eat for longer than two days, there’s likely a larger problem. Some dogs stop eating due to stress. The stress will have to be eliminated before your pet’s appetite will return.

There are quite a few medical reasons why a dog might lose his appetite. Digestive problems are more common than you might think, but infections, respiratory diseases, periodontal disease, and severe problems, like kidney disease and cancer, can also cause a dog to lose his appetite.
