It's always concerning when an older dog's appetite changes, especially if they are refusing their regular food but still accepting treats. This could indicate dental pain, gum disease, an underlying illness, or simply a pickiness that has developed. Older dogs can be prone to various health issues that affect appetite, such as kidney disease, liver problems, or even certain cancers. A thorough veterinary examination, including oral assessment, is highly recommended to determine the cause.
