not very hungry

Our two aren't eating half as much lately. Has anyone else's dog's appetite decreased in the heat? We come back from a walk and I put their tea down but they go for a rest for an hour or so before they eat and then a bit half-heartedly. They're certainly not skinny by the way!

Rocky is eating exactly half he was about a week ago, most certainly down to the heat in his case at least.

my two haven't gone off food, but i've been giving it all frozen so nice to cool them down

Yeah during the heat wave!! daisy has often left food.

Darcy has not got much appetite either & seems a little lethargic

Doesn't seem to have affected Vinnie, gutsy devil! 

Yep same here though bizarrely enough they will still not turn down a treat  

sash has gone off her food,i've found when we come back from our walk in the morning she will eat a bit then where she was never interested before so i have been splitting in two portions for her.

thanks all, i'll not worry then! they're sleeping now at 8pm and if I go to bed they will follow me up and stay there til about 5.30am. as long as it's 'normal'!!

past two weeks they are eating 100 grams a day less and then eating very late at night as well. as they aint working they seem to be self regulating...good for the food bills lol

Doesn't seem to bother my guzzle guts lol!

You don't feed them directly after a walk, do you? If so, you shouldn't as it can lead to bloat & gastric dilatation which is potentially fatal!

I'd leave it at least an hour after a walk before feeding.

I didn't know that! Thanks, I'll leave it a while before I feed them  

Shéara went right off his food when it was warm, he missed meals completely. He's back to normal now that its cooled down.

My little fat blob has not gone off his food but he is very unsettled in the heat.. he just up and down.. But he has discovered Ice cubes lol.. he loves them
