Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach! This may be because she no longer likes her dog food. I would recommend switching to a different diet and transitioning over a 7-10 day period. It may also be that she does not like the texture of the food as well. I would also offer canned and dry food to see if this helps increase her appetite. If her appetite continues to dwindle, I would recommend having a veterinarian examine her and have further testing done. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
