Is it OK for a dog to skip a meal?
24 Aug, 2016
Picky, finicky eaters or dogs that are just not that “into” food will sometimes walk away from their food bowl. Obviously, if your dog is usually a “good eater” and declines food, this may be a sign of illness and appropriate health advice should be sought.
But, for healthy dogs to skip a meal for a day or two is not a cause for concern because domestic dogs share the ability to manage feast or famine conditions with their carnivorous wild cousins.
