Why the dog does not eat
Sometimes it happens that our pets refuse to taste the food they have in the bowl. And we worry, because they could be sick. Have you ever wondered, for example, because the dog does not eat if its owner is not there there to give him kibble or wet? Why, if others feed him, could he refuse to feed?
Usually i dogs are always hungry. When we start to lose our appetite, there may be problems. However, if the question arises only when they are not in our presence, then they have probably developed an addiction to that effect.
There are dogs who love their routine and are very habitual. If they usually have us around while they eat, they expect to see us there. Without forgetting that I am social animals: usually we eat all together, all the single pack, with someone standing guard.
The person in the house they have identified as the leader of the pack could be a figure who gives security in an important moment such as the meal. They know that what they are eating is safe and that no one will take it away, because we are by their side.
It’s a innate sensation in animals, which can become worrying, however, when the puppies even refuse to eat if not in our presence. A problem that must certainly be addressed with the help of the veterinarian.
Why the dog does not eat: how to help Fido
First of all, let’s try to understand why he behaves like this, why he is afraid to eat if we are not there and if there is perhaps a trauma he has suffered that has not yet been overcome.
If the dog appears anxious in our absence, it is best to seek help from a veterinarian. Often small tricks are enough, such as a toy, the Kong, to be filled with treats, to help Fido relax.
