As pet sitters in Mesa, obviously we feed dogs as part of our job. And sometimes our dog clients won’t eat. So what do we do? Well, your pet sitter comes armed with several tricks for this situation.
First we have to decide if it is due to illness or something else. Oftentimes, our pet family members get sad when we go away and so they won’t eat. Most of the time it due to the fact that your dog is missing you. If a dog doesn’t want to eat for one meal, generally we are not overly concerned with it and will let the dog eat as much or as little as it wants. But because we don’t want your dog’s blood sugar to be effected by not eating, your Mesa pet sitter will keep a vigilant eye on the situation.
Let’s say we go to the next visit and your pup is still not eating. Here are several things we might try:
So if for some reason your dog stops eating, these are some ideas you can try as well. If a dog stops eating for more than a day or two even with trying these ideas, a trip to the vet is in order because something else is going on then.
If after trying these things and your dog still won’t eat, we will contact you and most likely take your pooch into the vet to be sure nothing else is going on. But isn’t it nice to know that your Mesa pet sitting professional is on the job with so many tricks up our sleeves?
This was SO HELPFUL! I am dog sitting, and he clearly misses his owner. I haven’t been able to get him to eat, so I tried putting the food in the microwave, and then added 3 or 4 dog treats to the food, and he ate everything. THANK YOU!
