Our 14 month old bitch has gone of her food and eatting only half her kibble daily allowance. Still full of energy and deception treats on walks. Had her first session about 2 months ago.

I'm hoping its just a phase.

First of all, I'd get her checked at the vet. One possibility is that she's having problems with her teeth, in which case softer food might help in the short term.

But some dogs simply find kibble boring - a different kibble, or a different type of food might work, or simply adding a bit of wet food into her dry.

Is she spayed? I dare say hormones could have a role, but my dog was male so it's not an area I know much about.
