Any Q

Your dog's refusal to eat dry food can stem from a general systemic failure, in which the need for hydration drives your dog to seek moist food. Your dog may have difficulty digesting dry food. There can also be various problems within your dog's mouth that make it painful for him to process hard food.


Why is my dog not eating his dry food?

Many dogs won't eat if they're not feeling well, especially if they're suffering from intestinal or dental issues, so you should visit your veterinarian to make sure nothing's wrong. But if your dog eats other kinds of food (like wet food or snacks) and refuses to touch his dry food, it may mean he's a picky eater.

Do dogs get bored of their food?

The majority of dogs don't get bored of their food. Whilst humans have around 9000 taste buds, dogs only have about 1700 – meaning they're just not interested in a variety of food in the same way we are.
