Why won't my dog eat her regular food after eating human food?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Female | 3 months and 9 days old | 5.512 lbs

Sir according to me, i think my pet had banned her regular food (chicken with rice, pedigree, fish, egg) because she got the taste of curry kfc grilled chicken, from that day she refuses to eat. I think thats why she banned all her regular food, so tell me sir can be this is a reason for ignoring food.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, this is known as dietary indiscretion and it could be the reason. He may be showing signs of dietary indiscretion which can happen from eating something that does not sit well in the stomach. Clinical symptoms that can occur include not eating, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Sometimes this resolves on its own. However, sometimes this does require some form of therapy which is mostly supportive in nature. If she develops any vomiting, diarrhea or inappetence, have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and best wishes!
