For the last week or ten days, my dog has not been eating as normal. She is a nine year old, 85 lb. German Shepherd, and normally eats about 20 oz. veggies, mixed with yogurt, salmon oil, kelp/alfalfa, salt and 24 oz meat (usually beef, but some deer). This is split into two meals per day. Lately, though, she's been not terribly interested. For instance, yesterday's breakfast is still uneaten, more than 28 hours later...she did eat some of the meat, but not much of it. She seems fine otherwise...she's happy to go for walks, and wants to play ball. She does have arthritis in one elbow, and so sometimes doesn't want to get up unless there's a darn good reason. When I used to feed dog food, several years ago now, she did the same sort of thing, but never since we started with real food. Should I get her in to her vet, or could she just be naturally backing off the food as the weather warms?
Maybe I'll buy her some pre-made dog burgers to see if she just needs a change.
