My 10-month-old German Shepherd puppy eating less. Should I worry?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | 10 months and 21 days old | 65 lbs

My 10 month old German Shepard normally eats 4 to 5 cups of puppy food per day. For over a week she is eating less than 2 cups. She is drinking and eliminating daily. Should I be concerned about the drop in food intake?

Yes, that is a significant drop in food intake. If it has been going on longer than 48 hours, I recommend to have Bella examined by the veterinarian. Bring in a stool sample for parasite testing. I hope this helps.
