My dog isn't eating much and is scratching a lot. What's wrong?

Question

Rosy our jack russell hasn't been eating her usual amount of food. She is not lethargic and hasn't got any diarrhoea and no vomiting. She is drinking plenty but is scratching a lot. She is up to date with worming and flea treatment it's just her eating. She is 2 years old. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 2 years and 9 months old

It sounds from what you are describing that Rosy’s decreased appetite is most likely related to a mild gastrointestinal upset or behaviour issue. I would advise the following Bland diet of boiled chicken and white rice. This will be good for her gastrointestinal tract and will tempt her to eat. Do this for a few days. Low sodium chicken broth if she isn’t drinking enough If she starts to vomit, have diarrhoea,seems lethargic please post another question here and I will help you further.
