I have a miniature toy poodle who up to a week ago was a great eater. All of a sudden she is not eating. I have tried numerous brands of dog food both soft and hard. She doesn't even eat her usual favorite. I don't think there is a medical problem because she will eat people food (meat). She has not had a whole lot of exposure to people food because she has always been a good eater. She is 4 years old, and I am worried. She will drink water OK and seems to be herself. She will walk up to the dish, sniff it and walk away. Please help, I need advice on what to offer her to get her to eat the dog food. She is losing weight.

Hmm, when my cat started acting like that he turned out to have a dental problem. Have you had your dog checked out by a vet?

Go to the ''My dog won't eat.'' section of the sticky at https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/information-articles-our-dogs-expert-labman-53153.html#post254171 With a little luck you can get the dog into the vet before the weekend. Only in exceptional circumstances is tempting the dog with rich food the correct answer.
