    My puppy stopped eating
    I have a 1 yr old lab collie mix puppy she normally eats a whole bowl a day fine but in the last week or so she's stopped eating. I'm lucky if she"s eaten a whole bowl all week. I'v tried mixing dry and wet food, mixing dry food and an egg, mixing dry food and table scarps, today we started taking her food away and only letting her have it when we eat so far that hasn't worked either. She will eat treats and people food just not her own dry food I don't know what to do. I don't want her to starve. Can't anyone give me any suggestions?

    Check labman's sticky on dogs who won't eat. I would recommend cutting out all people food - why eat dog food if that is an option? Puppies at that age can greatly reduce their food needs/intake as they stop growing. It might be a combination of factors. Try to stop all or most treats and ALL people food and only feed her regular kibble at her regular meal time, then pick it up after 15 minutes or so. Chances are she'll be hungry within 24 hours if she hasn't had any snacks. If you are noticing weight loss or it continues, see the vet to have her checked out. Good luck
