My dog won't eat much of anything since her "brother" passed away a couple of months ago.

Thanks for reaching out with your concern. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your dog's "brother." It's not uncommon for dogs to experience grief, much like humans do, and their loss of appetite could be an emotional response to the change in their home environment.



A grieving dog might become less interested in things they once enjoyed, including food. While it's crucial to address the emotional aspects, we also need to ensure your dog stays healthy and is receiving enough nutrition. Try offering smaller, more frequent meals and incorporating some of her favorite foods or treats to stimulate her appetite. Ensuring she sticks to a routine with regular feeding times can also provide comfort.



Watch for signs that indicate the problem could be more serious, such as significant weight loss, vomiting, lethargy, or if she refuses food for more than 48 hours. These could suggest underlying health issues requiring immediate attention.



To explore this situation more deeply and tailor the best plan for her needs, consider booking a video consult with a Dial A Vet professional. We can provide personalized advice and peace of mind as you support your dog through this tough time.
