My dog anchor is a samoyed mix, and is 8 months old. A few days ago he started to eat a little less. I am wondering if this is something to be concerned about. If so, is there something at home I can do? Or should he be taken to a vet?

Sometimes they do slow down around that age. Have you checked his mouth for any infection, chipped or broken teeth or anything swolen gums? What are you feeding him? Does he get table scraps? Is he getting excersised? How much and how often? What do his stooles look like? Is he drinking normally? Is he up to date with vaccines? Could he have gotten into anything that might upset his stomach? How long has he not been eating for?
