What should I do if my dog stops eating food? I switched to a different food and he still only eat very little. His condition is okay and his poo is solid.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Wookon. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian. There is likely an underlying reason that he is having a decreased appetite. He could have a bad tooth, an upset stomach (even with normal bowel movements) or be experiencing pain elsewhere in his body. His veterinarian will perform a thorough examination and then make treatment or diagnostic recommendations. In the meantime, you can try offering warm water in the kibble or some warmed canned food. I hope this information helps!
