My dog stopped eating her food. Should I change her food or brand?

Question

My dog stopped eating her brand of dog food. Should I get a different bag of the same brand and exact same food? Or should I switch to a new brand of dog food? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 6 months old | 170 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sometimes dogs will just get bored of the same diet and just need to be switched to a completely new diet. I would recommend you consider a different diet though it could be from the same brand. Remember to introduce her to the new diet slowly as follows: feed 25% of the new and 75% of the old diet on day 1. Then feed 50% of each the second day and 75% of the new and 25% of the old on day 3. On day 4, you should be able to feed her the new diet entirely. Good luck and have a great day!
