Sorry if this is the wrong place.
Well my nine month old lab has not been eating his for for the last week (He is on purina one lamb and rice). He will eat cookies or kibble i drop on the floor. Is he just being picky? Or could it be the food?:confused:
Thanks for any input.

I would first go to the vet to rule out any parasites or health problems that might be making your dog not want to eat.
After problems have been ruled out, I would check to see if something is wrong with the food.

If a Lab hasn't eaten for a week, yes, call the vet. Check the food over. Could it be a bad new bag or old and stale?

See this recent post.. possibly the changes to the ingredients are causing the problem. Some dogs don't like change or understand when it happens if all they eat is the same kibble..

A hormone change in your puppy might change his diet habits. If he is not eating at all then I would agree to have your vet see him.
