What to feed a dog with cancer and no appetite?

Best Answers

Eat with your dog. Some dogs like to eat at the same time as their people. Increasing appetite in the face of disease. Look at how many medications/supplements you are giving your dog. I can not stress this enough. I have had dogs come in on 50, yes 50 pills a day, with no appetite. You probably would not be eating on all that either. read more
