Default Eating Disorder

I have a Geraman Shepard that has been really picky about what it eats since puppy hood. its 13 now and has been on the same same dog food for 9 years. Sometimes it wont eat anything. I'm getting worried because she's even gone a whole week barely touching her food? Please help.

I guess it would be better if you visit a vet asap.

I agree, head to a vet. If it was a young dog I'd say try to wait it out, but given your dog's age it's better safe than sorry.

Wow! That could totally be why. If you feed a dog the same thing (same protein) over and over and over their bodies will become intollerent to the source and begin to get sick.

Not only that... but what exacty is the diet? If it's a low-grade or middle of the road dog food I would watch out... Food-Related Cancers are now popping up which has caused everyone to finally care about what they food their dogs.

#1, Let the Vet know #2, CHANGE THE FOOD #3, Maintain Senior Level Balance in the Dog Food (less fat, less protein, more vitamins, add supplements too)
