Dogs may fall victim to a decrease in appetite or become disinterested in their food.
Here are several ways to stimulate your furry friend’s appetite.
NATURAL
APPETITE STIMULANTS
Exercise is a perfect way to stimulate hunger in your pet.
As their body works harder, it will crave food to use as energy.
Herbs are another natural stimulant that can work well when added to dog food.
Herbs like chamomile, ginger, celery seed, and peppermint tend to work best.
Garlic seems to have the highest success rate as dogs enjoy the taste.
Rotisserie chicken may be the secret stimulant for your dog.
Other ideas include hand feeding your dog or warming up their food in the microwave.

CBD is a safe, natural stimulant while THC is toxic to animals.
