My dog is suddenly picky. Is he bored or are table scraps the problem?

Question

Dog is all of a sudden starting to turn his nose up and be a picky eater. I'm assuming when my family sneaks him table scraps this is messing up his eating schedule. He used to run to the food bowl the first 3-4 weeks but now he will go over to it and sniff it and look at me. I have to sit there with him and try and get him to eat it. Is it possible he is just bored of it? Should I go searching for something new. What about a food topper or spray something on the dry food. Using Science diet. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 3 years and 3 months old | 16 lbs

I would recommend staying with the same dog food and try having the family stop supplementing people food. Most dogs will not starve themselves. It is kay if Oliver wants to eat through the day too instead on one meal. My dogs will some days not eat till noon and other days eat all of the food as soon as I put it down at 5. I would only become concerned if he goes a day or two with out eating, starting to vomit/diarrhea or looses weight. Again I would recommend sticking with the science diet it is a good brand of food. hope that helps
