What to do if your dog won't eat his food but will eat treats?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Something you can do to help your pet learn that he needs to eat his dinner before he can have treats is to be consistent. This means that you make a food schedule and stick to it. Give him the same food at the same times every day. Only give him treats when he has earned them, not just when he asks for them. 7 авг. 2019 г.


Why is my dog refusing to eat his food but will eat treats?

Pets that have nasal diseases, such as infections or cancer, can't smell their food and often won't eat or will only eat treats. Pets with lung diseases may have a compromised ability to breathe, which causes them not want to eat as it can be difficult to eat and breathe at the same time.

Can dogs live on treats?

If you think your dog is not feeling well, you can let it go with some table food or treats for a day or so to see if it feels better. However, your dog cannot survive on treats alone, so you will need to make an appointment with the vet quickly if your dog does not begin to eat again after a day or so.
