My Golden Retriever Won T Eat. Many people add glucosamine to their dogs diet to help with joint pain. Another common problem is the dog that will eat treats or human food but simply wont eat dog food at all.
Took her to our vet liver enzymes slightly elevated but no other signs of disease present in bloodwork or physical exam. Golden Retrievers are known for hiding their pain from owners so in case of appetite loss one of the first things you need to check is the dogs teeth. They did a lymph node biopsy because he was a Golden and Goldens can be prone to something called lymphoma.
You may continue to give their regular food in smaller quantities or choose a specially formulated senior dog food.
Golden Retrievers seem to be known for their healthy appetite mine sure is. This would be more likely if it has always been energetic and it wouldnt be uncommon in Golden Retrievers. You may continue to give their regular food in smaller quantities or choose a specially formulated senior dog food. You didnt say how old your Golden was but when a dog ages their senses decline including their sense of taste and smell.
