Not wanting to eat can be due to many things.

Sometimes if it's warm during the summer, a dog won't eat as much, just like people. Sometimes the food might not be as fresh as you think it is, and the dog is avoiding it. Many times though, not eating is a sign the dog isn't feeling well. Not drinking water is almost more important than not eating!

If your dog hasn't ate for two or three days, you should call the vet, it's important to rule out a medical reason for not eating. If your dog hasn't ate or drank water two or three days do not delay in contacting a vet. Dehydration is quite serious, and could lead to organ failure.

Why is your dog only eating treats but not food?

Well try putting hot water on it or you can always mix it in with wet dog food. Or you could even try a different flavor or type of dog food. Good luck!! Try feeding your dog only Dog Food, do not give the dog any other type of food,especially food that is meant for people,dogs will often shun their own dog food in favor of getting people food..Switch between dry and canned or a mix of the two..It may take a day or even two days but eventually hunger and instinct will cause the dog to eat its own food...Once that happens continue to feed the animal only dog food and give them treats specifically for dogs.People food is not recommended for dogs because of the additives and preservatives it contains.. This is what I do to make my dog eat her dog food.. -I put ground beef into her bowl, and then I pour hot water over it (just a bit) and then I put the dry dog food in, after the water has absorbed the flavors of the meat.
