Why do dogs not eat in summer?

In the hot summer, there are actually many reasons why dogs don’t eat food. 1. The weather is sultry. When the weather is hot, humans have a particularly bad appetite and cannot eat. In fact, the same is true for dogs. The sudden change in high temperature also makes it difficult for pets to adapt. However, we humans can use fans and air conditioners to relieve the heat. But dogs can't. Their perspiration system is poor and they can only relieve heat through their tongues. In this way, they naturally won't be so interested in what they eat. 2. Food spoilage. Some pet owners feel particularly sorry for their dogs and are always afraid that their dogs will have nothing to eat at home when they go to work, so they prepare enough dog food in the bowl for their dogs. But if you do this in summer, bacteria will breed in the dog food and cause the dog food to deteriorate. No matter how greedy your pet is, they will not be willing to eat spoiled food. 3. Picky eaters. You may often eat some food that relieves heat and quenches thirst in summer, which makes your dog not like to eat dog food. Try to avoid feeding less snacks, and then change to dog food with better palatability. 4. If you feel unwell, often accompanied by symptoms such as listlessness and drowsiness, you should seek medical treatment in time.
