Answers:
I am sure that you have tryed different food I know that some dogs can be very picky . Your dog dose not even want table scraps? or is eating too much? Taking into consideration all that and no problems there there is a problem a big dog like that should have a good appetite good luck
maybe she feels like not eating. Try to stay with her until she finishes eating
depression, is he/she sluggish, drowsy,tired, and alone most of the time?
you should get some MIGHTY DOG MY DOG loves it or try putting a doggy snack it it or put some chicken my dogs love meat
take her to the vet and ask their advice
I SERIOUSLY THINK UR DOG WANTSS SEX CAUSE MY DOG WAS DOIN DAT A WHILE BACK N I FIGURED IT WAS SEX HE WANTED..
I have a chihuahua and the same happens my dog eats only 1/3 of the cup at night, took her to the vet and says everything is alright, it is sometimes frustrating, What I'm doing now that is helping is that I put her plate with food at about 10:30 AM and at 11:00 I pick it up (even if she did not eat) then I put some more food at 7:00 PM and take the plate away ate 7:30 and yesterday for the first time she ate both meals!! but it took me one week to get to that. Hope this can help you.
your siberian is a small eater. I had one for 13 years, she did the
same thing until I realized she ate small meals several times a day. So I got a self feeder and she began to eat whenever she was hungry. She never got over 40 lbs., thus she was from the racing line of siberian huskies. they tend to be smaller framed
for speed not endurance as most huskies are heavier boned.for racing long distances.

Don't worry, she'll eat when shes hungry. You could also try feeding her small amounts of food several times a day if a self
feeder is not an option.
You can purchase a beef-flavored vitamin paste at your local pet store. It comes in many brands, but it's very thick, consistant with molasses.


Try giving her wet dog food mixed with her hard food. Sometimes she may prefer the taste, and it's also bulked up with a bit more calories to help her gain back some weight.


Good luck with your puppy. Perhaps you should consult a vet if you're too worried.
hi. i have a malamute wolf mix. zeus is the same way. husk's and malamutes are closely related to wolves. when food is plentiful, wolves only eat what they need. unlike other dogs that gorge. when food is scarce the wolves and their cousins will gorge. zeus also likes variety. we give him the fat off any leftover meats as well as the drippings. it peaks his interest and gets him eating. he's almost 3, 6ft on his hind legs, and only about 110 lbs.
i'm told he should top out at 150-160 by the time he's 5.
Try giving her extra attention. Also maybe she doesn't like the food you are giving her. But try not to give her too many different thing at one time for that may cause some stomach problems.
It could be depreshon maby she is sad
My dog was very similiar. It was SO hard to get her to eat.

Try this.does she eat 'treats or tablescraps' quickly? If yes, she probably does not like her food.

Try different kinds of food.

Also, take the food away after, say, 10 minutes. Eventually the dog will eat. Let the dog learn that if it doesn't eat when the food is served, it does not eat.

Start by mixing some treats in with the dogs food to get it excited about eating.
Try another food, or if not he is sick
Have you been changing her food? If so, she could be tired of the current food and just wants you to change it to a new one. Dogs will starve themselves if you will do what they want (spoil them with goody foods instead of what you want them to eat).
Mix up her food with a little garlic and warm it up a little.
