My miniture poodle refuses to eat anything, even after going for a walk and running around. I tried giving her cooked chicken & all sorts of things, but all she'll do is sniff the food and turn around. I'm starting to worry that she is just plain anorexic. Are there any suggestions to make her more hungry so she'll eat?

First and foremost, try to think of how long it's been since she's eaten. Keep track of when, what, and how much she eats if and when she does. Call you vet pronto to see if there's something they suggest or if they want to see her. My dog is funny. He eats when he's hungry- I'll put out food twice a day and it'll be a few hours before HE'S ready to eat. Example: I put the food out at 5 when I get home (thinking he's been crated all day and might be hungry) and then he won't decide to eat until 7.
Also, has your pooch been have regular "movements"? All animals will have a reduced appetite if they are backed up. If she has gone #2, did it look normal? Discoloration can lead to lots of things (worms, ulcers, infections, ect.)
I'd take her baby to the vet. Good luck and hope she feels better!

I have a toy poodle and if you start giving her human food instead of dog food you are going to have trouble with her eating.
Does she have all her shots, is she vet checked and have you fixed her. Maybe you need to address all these questions and then see if you are doing something wrong???

We had a teacup poodle and had the same problem. She actually did not make it past 4 months. We had to feed her by syringe and would not eat any soft or hard food. I wish I could give some suggestions, but I wish you GOOD LUCK.

My Boston didn't want to eat anything for me either. I finally got her to eat after getting some of that Iams gravy stuff that you can pour on the food. Now after using it for awhile she will eat her food even without it. Hope she statrs eating soon. If not go the VET.

Take her to the vet. There are a lot of reasons dogs don't eat, and they need vet attention.

Take her to the vet it sounds like she can be dehydrated she might need to be seen soon If she won't eat they will feed her by tubes.
