What if the dog suddenly loses his appetite? It may be related to these five reasons.

Because the dog's cooling system is poor, it is often prone to heatstroke when it is hot in summer. In order not to get too hot, dogs began to reduce their exercise and intestinal peristalsis, so their appetite began to decline, which is similar to the deterioration of human appetite in summer.

How to improve?

First of all, we need to pay attention to the indoor temperature, try to keep the indoor ventilation cool, and at least have a place where dogs can enjoy the cool; Secondly, try to avoid taking dogs out at high temperature, especially 165438+ between 0: 00 am and 4: 00 pm, where the temperature is high and the ultraviolet rays are very strong.

2. Food corruption

In spring and summer, the temperature is high and the air is humid, so dog food is easy to go moldy and deteriorate after being taken out. This dog has a keen sense of smell. When it finds that food tastes wrong, it will take the initiative to refuse to eat.

How to improve?

(1) Before feeding, clean the food basin and dispose of the spoiled food left at the bottom of the food basin;

② Seal the packaging bag in time after taking the dog food every time to avoid the dog food from getting damp and deteriorating.

3. Infected with parasites

Dogs often go out to play and are easily exposed to various germs and parasites. Many pet owners don't realize the importance of regular deworming, so they seldom deworm their dogs, resulting in a large number of parasites in their stomachs, such as soft stools, reduced usage, listlessness, vomiting, bloody stool and so on.

How to improve?

① Try to avoid feeding raw meat to dogs;

(2) Do a good job of expelling insects from dogs on a regular basis.

4. Emotional influence

Dogs in a bad mood can also affect their appetite. Dogs actually have a lot of feelings inside, and they are not as neurotic as they seem. If the living environment suddenly changes, other dogs come to the house, or the owner ignores the dog for a long time and doesn't give the dog money to play with, it may lead to the dog's depression and loss of appetite.

Treatment: pet owners need to spend more time with their dogs, find out the main reasons why dogs are in a bad mood and try to get rid of their psychological shadow. You can also add some boiled meat and canned snacks to the dog food to promote the appetite of the dog.

5. Other diseases

When the dog is unwell due to various diseases, it will also start to lose appetite, such as gastroenteritis, cold, fever, injury, pain and so on.

Treatment: carefully observe the dog's mental state, behavior state and excretion, find abnormal symptoms, go to the pet hospital for examination or consult an online pet doctor in time, determine the cause, and take medicine in time. Generally, the appetite of dogs will recover quickly after they get well.
