6 month old puppy suddenly gone off dry food

[CountyLines]

My 6 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback has suddenly stopped eating his dry food. He demolished the last bag of the same stuff no problem, but won't touch the new bag. He's also got picky with his wet food. Not eating his treats really either. It's really strange. There's nothing else untoward in his behaviour. He certainly doesn't seem unwell. He's still got lots of energy etc. I'm perplexed.

Would you like the same food for every meal? Dogs get pi$$ed off too sometimes

Try something different and then go back to the one they are rejecting at the moment.

Not sure if this is a common thing or not? But my 6 month old puppy suddenly went off his usual raw food variety.

I’ve had to try 3 different brands to find something the picky little fker is happy with.

At the same time how also went off Yaks Milk chews, beef pizzles and some other chew he used to previously demolish too.

Someone probably told them what a pizzle is... I'd quickly go off them if I found out what I was putting in my mouth.

It's not lack of variety. He's gone off everything he's always loved over the weekend.

Toothache triggered by eating crunchy stuff?

Vets is best bet.

Grated cheese mixed in with his food. Never known a dog refuse anything with grated cheese.

I look after my (two) brothers' (three) dogs from time to time. They always arrive with a bag of kibble and a few treats but after having their food supplemented with a bit of tuna, a scrambled egg, a rasher of bacon or grated cheese, I'm certain they're not sure whether they want to go home again.

Mind you, they are Labs and whoever heard of a Lab going off its food?

Well he's just drank some lactose free milk, which he wouldn't touch yesterday so hopefully that's a good sign...
