Why is my Pomeranian a picky eater and loses appetite in summer?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Male | 1 year and 7 months old

Minimum walk time for a pommerian who is 2 years old??? 2 nd problem is he eats only a few things like papaya butter and chapati a few times in his meal ... He also doesn't eat much of the fruits and in summers he stops eating and doesn't even eat 1 full meal in a day is there any problem or just fine ????

I would walk Bruno at least 20 minutes twice a day. In regards to his diet, he does not need chapati or papaya butter. He should be fed a dog food only, that will provide al the nutrients he needs. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. In terms of the the loss of appetite in summer, it could be he's really hot decreasing his appetite. Make sure he stays in a cool, dark area with a fan if needed. Keeping him cooler may help with his appetite. Best of luck.
