Expert Advice: Why Your Dog Might Be Eating Less This Summer

Veterinarian María VetiCan addresses a common concern among dog owners: decreased appetite in canines during the summer months. According to VetiCan, it is normal for dogs to eat less when temperatures rise, as their energy needs decrease due to reduced activity and the body's natural thermoregulation. She advises owners not to be alarmed if their dog maintains a healthy weight and exhibits no other signs of discomfort or illness. However, if a dog experiences excessive weight loss, VetiCan suggests several methods to stimulate their appetite. These include incorporating high-quality wet food, natural sugar-free yogurt or kefir, and natural broths made from meat, bones, or vegetables (ensuring no salt, onion, or bone fragments are present). She also mentions the option of a natural diet. These additions, she notes, are fresher, moister, and richer, encouraging dogs to consume the necessary nutrients.
