A thorough investigation may be required. As mentioned, dogs may refuse to eat their foods because of feeling sick. Worthy of investigating is also whether there were any recent recalls of the brand of food you are feeding your dog. Perhaps there was some change in the formulation of the food. Perhaps the food may be expired, or perhaps the bag was opened and the food went rancid.

If your dog usually eats his meal with gusto, and now he is turning his nose at it, don't be too fast to label him as spoiled- chances are, there might be something wrong with his food. Becky Lundgren, veterinarian Something Wrong With the Food If you’re constantly coaxing your dog to eat, then your dog has trained you to keep offering tastier and tastier items. "If your dog grew up with you offering multiple kinds of food, that may have trained him to hold out for something better, just like children will hold out for ice cream, instead of Brussel sprouts. And if you feed your dog tasty table scraps from under the table or have children who do, consider that these may be making him full. All the scraps can easily add up, so when meal time is around the corner, your dog will be satiated especially if you own a small dog which gets filled up quickly.
