It may be that Milo is just being a picky eater. If he's receiving any people food or treats, it is best to stop those for a few days and only offer his food in his bowl. Dogs will not starve, and once hungry enough he should start eating again. However, if you are seeing any signs of illness in addition to his refusal to eat, such as vomiting or diarrhea, this may indicate an underlying issue instead which should be checked out by your vet.
