My dog isn't eating for days. What safe food can I give a picky dog?

My toy poodle normally eats dry food. Lately he’s been picky and would go days without touching his food. Is there any other mixes I can give him so he can eat. What home food is safe for dogs?

I can give a link to two websites where you can get balanced home diets for dogs, but I strongly urge you to take Scooby into the vet for a health check in the morning. It's not normal that a young dog won't eat for days, and it could be he's suffering from a medical illness causing this problem. Best of luck. https://secure.balanceit.com https://www.petdiets.com
