What should I do if my poodle doesn’t eat?
What should I do if my Poodle doesn’t eat? Pay attention to whether the condition of your Poodle is normal. If it is due to illness and loss of appetite, take your dog to see a doctor as soon as possible; you can add some chicken breast, beef or fruits and vegetables to the dog food. Wait for complementary food to stimulate the poodle's appetite; if indigestion causes anorexia, you can feed some digestive tablets.

The first thing you should do is observe the mental state of the poodle, whether it is lying on the ground and does not want to move, check whether the dog has runny nose, whether it has a cold or illness, this is also very relevant. If the food refusal is caused by illness, you should take your poodle to see a doctor as soon as possible.

If the food you are feeding does not meet the poodle’s taste, or the poodle is tired of eating, you can feed the dog some complementary food appropriately. Monotonous dog food will also make the dog lose his appetite. It is also a good idea to add some chicken breast, beef or fruits and vegetables to the dog food, but do not add too much, so as not to cause the dog to be picky eaters in the future.

If after enriching the dog’s food, their appetite still has not recovered, it means that the dog does not feel hungry. It must be that the owner feeds them too much food without proper exercise, resulting in the dog’s hunger. The intestines and stomach cannot digest well, so the poodle will naturally not want to eat. At this time, the owner can feed the poodle some digestive tablets in an appropriate amount to help their gastrointestinal movement, promote gastrointestinal digestion, and wait until the food in the dog's intestines After digestion, they will eat when they feel hungry.

If it is hot summer, the environment is humid and stuffy, just like a person has no appetite, the poodle will also become unwilling to eat. At this point, you should replace some light and delicious food and prepare enough water instead of letting the dog eat too much. When the weather relaxes, you still need to take your dog for a walk to help improve your appetite.
