Little Appetite, Big Concern
The Maltese has always been petite. But when your senior Maltese starts picking at food like it is optional, it can feel stressful.
One bite. Walk away. Sniff. Maybe another nibble.
Small breeds are known for selective eating. Add age into the mix and appetite can shrink even more.
Why Senior Maltese Eat Less
As dogs age, several things can affect appetite:
-
Reduced sense of smell
-
Dental sensitivity
-
Lower activity levels
-
Slower metabolism
