Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | 6 months and 24 days old

Chapatis, oats, and rice are not a balanced or healthy diet for a dog. Dogs need protein and calcium as well as many other vitamins and nutrients, and that diet you provided doesn't give him that. I see that Max is six months old, so he needs a puppy formulated food. Puppies need higher amounts of calories, protein, and calcium than adult dogs, and a puppy formulated food will provide that for him. I would not give him human food any longer, and put him on a puppy dog food until he is 12 months. Then he should be on an adult dog food. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I would also have a health check for him with the vet. He may be feeling unwell from have a nutrient deficient diet, or he could also have a medical illness causing the loss of appetite. Please keep in mind that even if it is a medical illness causing him to lose his appetite, the current diet you are feeding him is very poor and he needs to be on a puppy food. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Cute puppy. There can be many reasons why your puppy Max is more mellow and refusing his food this afternoon, as these are not very specific symptoms for one thing or another. However, I would first suspect that he may just be getting odler and doesn't have as many calorie requirements as he did when he was younger. Between the ages of 6-8 months most puppies go from 3 times a day meals to twice a day meals and decrease their food amount by about 1/4-1/3rd. However, if Max develops other symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, refusing to eat for more than 12 hrs, has labored breathing or pale gums, then those are concerning symptoms of illness and he should be seen by your vet right away for testing to determine the underlying cause. Puppies are suscpetible to getting illnesses such as parvovirus (if not fully vaccinated), bacterial infections, underlying congential heart problems or intestinal parasites. However, Max likely is just fine or has a mild stomach upset or is just going through the normal processes for a growing puppy. I hope everything works out well for your pet Max here moving forward. Best wishes and take care.
