Since when did that sort of thing stop us having opinions and offering advice?

Totally OTWho wants sprouts when you can have lovely chocolates.
Ignore the trip to the vets advice. They'll examine him and tell you that he's off his food for blah blah reasons,then present you with a eye opening bill. My dog goes days where he eats very little then he pigs out for another few days. This is normal behaviour according to the veterinary nurse(half a pint of lager for the info) down the pub.
It rather sounds like he's gone off his regular food. Our little Jack Russell does this fairly often. The others will eat anything but the wee JRT is a fussy fusspot.Hi @Saluki
He turned his nose up at his usual dry food again so I mixed in some tinned stuff. He ate most of it but still left a lot of the dry. His teeth seem fine also.
Thanks
You put scarfs on sprouts. Better than eating them I supposeI've just found some of these left over from Christmas and am scarfing them with my tea in front of the rugby...

They is chocolate disguised as sprouts! - the pic came out a bit big though...You put scarfs on sprouts. Better than eating them I suppose
Is the dog lethargic? If so Vet. If not only take it to the Vet if you have loads of money like "regulator" and nothing to spend it on.but obviously I'm a tad concerned as he usually has us up by 6.30am to be fed. Is it worth me trying to change his food incase he's simply bored with the current brand.
I'm no stranger to dogs but this seemed weird, Iv never had a dog that's been bored of food before
Most of the questions you asked have been answered previously in this thread. As I said he's fine in himself (definitely not lethargic). Treats are only for training purposes, also as mentioned. And again as mentioned I have already mixed with dry and wet which seems to have done the trick as he has eaten the lot both this morning and tonight.Is the dog lethargic? If so Vet.

Dogs don't get bored with a brand of food, if he liked it before he will like it now. The manufacturers could have changed the ingredients.
How about a mix of dry and wet?
Why are you giving him treats? What has he done to deserve it? Treats are for training. For when a dog has done something well, not as a source of food.
Are you overfeeding the dog or under exercising it (relative to food) Not all dogs will if offered excess food eat it. Don't feed for 1 or 2 days and see if he eats it all up then.
I wouldn't definitely do half and half wet and dry it is more natural.
Note long term use of the same dog food (6months) particularly tinned, with a sudden change to another brand will result in short term diarrhoea.
