Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If Jules is fine otherwise, it is very likely that he is a bit spoiled and that will not eat unless given human food. I recommend that you stick to his dry or wet diet and perhaps things to it to entyce his appetite like pieces of chicken or chicken broth or even dog grade gravy on his food. f not eating in 1-2 days after offering this diet then you can consider taking him to your veterinarian to make sure that there is nothing else that could explain his lack of appetite. If you are concerned he also has other signs such as vomiting or lethargy for instance, have him evaluated by your veterinarian right away. Good luck and have a great day!
