I wish I knew how to understand dogs. Luna doesn´t look ill, but she is not eating. Still, if I give her any snack she wants, she will eat it all.
What I´d like to know is if I should still give her food mixed with other things Or that I should stick to dog pellets.
What I give her over the pellets is the water of the tuna cans when I have them or some yogurt. They don´t look like they would be dangerous. What do you think?

My dog sometimes skips a meal or two, especially during the summer when it is hot or if the weather is changing. Every once in a while I get worried and sprinkle a little bit of cheese onto her food or add a little bit of cooled scrambled egg to convince her to eat but I try not to make a habit of that. Usually that does the trick.
If you are worried, the best plan is to always consult a vet.

I think I did too much of that on the hot summer days. Now she won´t eat normal dog food.

That´s what Marco told me. I´ll buy her another brand of pellets for a while.

@LadyDuck I won the human-dog battle today. I spent 2 days taking away the food from Luna´s dish if she did not eat soon (half an hour). The ants arrive then. She discovered that either she ate at breakfast and dinner as she did when she was a little puppy, or she would go hungry. And no yogurt or other niceties to help her eat. Today I won. She ate fine in the morning and at night. After 3 or 4 days go by, I will give her a yogurt at another time of the day as a reward for something else.

@marguicha The cats here around do the same. I change the brand of the dry food I offer them time by time. I should stop feeding them, they have owners, but I love to spoil them.

She eats well if I add delicious things to her food. Maybe she is tired of her pellets.

Sorry, I am not a dog expert. I know I would worry if my cat Sid didn't eat he has the appetite of a horse. I would suggest you see how she is in a couple of days and if she is still off the food then I guess you need to consult a vet.

She eats fine if I add the water of a tuna can over the pellets. Maybe she does not like the food anymore.

She does. I guess I´ll change her pellets. Maybe it is that.
