Ensure the food is served at room temperature. Try warming it slightly. Gradually introduce the food over a week to get the dog accustomed to the new flavor and texture. Always consult your veterinarian, as appetite loss can be a symptom of the underlying condition.

This can occur during the transition phase. Slow down the transition process over a longer period (10-14 days). If symptoms persist, stop feeding the diet and consult your veterinarian immediately.
