Why is my active dog not eating her food but still acting healthy?

Question

Pup usually has big appetite, I think it's gone down. Quits eating after half cup of food. Starts sniffing it, walking around it, holding her body almost tentatively away from it, nudging the bowl around avidly but not eat. I've noticed her do it with 2 different brands kibble, 2 different brands canned, Freshpet rolls, and even raw chicken. What the heck?! Otherwise acts healthy, chase squeaky 20 mins, plays with G.Shep. She is very active, eats when offered something else like cat food. What??

She could just be a very fussy dog, but because it could be a medical issue as well i would recommend taking her to your vet for a general checkup. if she hasn't been dewormed lately i would recommend having this done as well just in case.
