What happens if a dog doesn't eat for 5 days?

Most dogs can go three to five days without food, while in some cases they can survive seven days or more. However, if your dog won't eat for more than two days, we recommend that you talk to a vet. A bigger issue is water intake. Dogs can go far less without water than without food.
