Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male
Hi. I got a new dog a few days ago. He is hyperactive but refuses to eat or drink water. What could be the problem? Also whats his breed?

HI, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Max could be a Spitz or a Samoyed. Or a mix. Max may need time adjusting to a new home. Try adding warm water to his food or adding a tablespoon of canned food mixed with water to see if that will get him to eat. Try sitting with him while he eats. Good luck!
