Call your vet. And don't EVER feed a dog human food- it shortens their lives and makes them unhealthy. I would suggest calling your vet, your puppy could be sick. Just don't feed your dog human food, and if it comes down to it keep feeding her treats or get different dog food nad see which one hse likes, maybe she's illergic to what your feeding her of her tumym could be sensitive to what ever is in the dog food.

A lot of dogs go on a hunger strike at 12 months of age.
Mums Dane was skin and bones from the time he was 12 months to 18 months, he barely ate, and she would have to change his diet quite regularly to find thing she liked.

Now he is nearly 2 years old and good, healthy weight.

As long as your dog is eating something and not emaciated, I wouldn't panic too much.
Try and avoid things like ice-cream, their stomachs really can't handle it (dogs are lactose intolerant) Try feeding some raw hamburger meat or boiled chicken mixed in with her normal food.

I had two Danes, and they both went through a picky stage around that age. Change up the dog food you are using. But first how about a check up with the vet? They can put her on suppliments if she needs them.

When my dog stopped eating we fed him hanburger and rice. He ate it for awhile. Also when my grandparents dog stopped eating it was hutning season so we gave her the parts of the deer carcass we couldn't use and she literally finished it in an hour! You could try going to a local butcher and picking up some scraps and mix that in with her diet.

I'd make a vet appointment though, just to make sure it is nothing serious.
