My senior Lab won't eat. What human food can I give for nutrition?

Question

Hi I have a 13 yr old lab that's now not eating any dog food, canned or dry, I want him to eat so I'm thinking about giving him hamburger rice and eggs, just how much should I give him so that he gets what he needs for his nutrition? Thanks. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 13 years old | 95 lbs

You can try giving Lucky a cup of boiled white meat chicken mixed with half a cup of rice. If you give him eggs, make sure they are fully cooked with no salt, pepper, or seasonings. Just the eggs only, and I would only give him one at a time. He really needs to see a vet as he may not be eating his dog food because he's sick. He could have dental problems, liver disease, kidney failure, an infection, systemic illness, or even cancer causing him to not eat. Please take him into a vet as soon as possible.
