Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | neutered | 1 year and 3 months old

Hello, We would like to ask a question about our pet Eugene. He is a stubborn 1 year old Husky-Mix. Some days ago he started eating slowly and not much. He usually eats fast and gobbles down all his food and sometimes the other dog's food too. We don't understand why he wont eat all of three-handfulls. Please help us.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Loss of appetite can be observed with many conditions such as gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, kidney disease, pancreatitis, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Eugene evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for these possibilities and others depending on the findings on exam. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a great day! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
