My dogs have quit eating

[huntswithdogs]

I'm owned by 2 10yr old beagles and a 5yr old Rott. My beagles haven't ever shied away from ANYTHING they thought they can eat. This Rott is a slow eater like my first one, but she usually eats. The last 2-3 days the Rott has picked at her food and left most of it. The beagles haven't eaten more than a mouth full or 2.
I got to thinking maybe it was the food because I leave it in a sealed container in my outbuilding. It's been pretty dang hot and humid. Maybe it got moldy or something...I bought another bag of food last nite. This morning, they hadn't touched the food.
I've been feeding them Ole Roy from WalMart. I know someone here may question this food, but they'e been eating it since they came off of puppyfood, years ago, and have not had any problems with it. I'll be returning the unused portion of this food tonite and buying another brand. Hopefully it's just that they've gotten tired of it and not something health wise.

Thanks,

My dogs don't like to eat when it's really hot out, I just keep them watered and they eat when they get hungry enough.

I thought about that. 2 weeks ago it was hotter than now, though. They didn't seem to be having any problems eating then. Particularly my little bitch beagle. She'll eat anytime, anywhere, no matter the weather. At least maybe up until now...? I checked with the neighbors to see if any of them have been feeding my varmits, but they all plead innocence.
I'll give it another day or so and see what pans out.

Thanks H Bomb

Of my 2 dogs the big one a rott/gshepard/lab cross will eat any time and anything, my other a ause kelpe snacks when he feels like it. Its been in the middle 90's last few weeks. On Sun nite feeding they get a can of dog food with their dry. It seems as it gets hotter the kelpe backs off.

Mine have slowed down eating as well, but it has been all during the extra hot parts of summer.  Still they are not eating what I think they should, but the activity levels are down so I'm not too concerned yet.  Mine seem to take about three days to eat what was usually eaten in a single day.  Try a different brand, or maybe add some bacon grease to what is on hand.  Sometimes the smell of the bacon is enough to stimulate the appatite.

My .02$,  they could have heart worm unless on continous treatment.

Are their noses wet?
Honestly the wife's excuse for a dog wouldn't even look at Ol'Roy.
 
If they don't start eating go spoil them a bit, get some liver, it is one of the cheapest meats you can get.
Nuke it a bit in a closed container(not sealed) as it will pop. If they don't eat that then something is wrong with them.
The other option for a treat is Pedigree's pouches, it is moist stuff and our little "chit" loves it when we go South.
