My German Shepard is 3 years old and she won't eat her same regular food for a week now and am worried. Any ideas why she isn't eating?

“She isn’t eating” isn’t a lot of information to go on. The reason could be anything from an simple upset stomach to a life-threatening medical emergency.
If it’s really been a whole week, you need to get her to the vet. Some dogs might go a day or two at the most without eating, but that’s far too long to be normal.

Any problem that lasts more then 2 days should be looked at by a vet. She may be sick and not able to eat. You should take a stool sample with you as well, as that will save you from taking two trips to the vet.

Take her to the vet and have him rule out health issues and have him check her teeth. Get a small new bag of her food and see if she will eat it. It is very possible there is something wrong with the food... Corn based foods easily become moldy.

I would call a vet pretty quickly. It could be something wrong with her diet or in the food that she does not like. Either way You need to get help fast!!

Could she be eating something outside? Garbage or another dog's food, cat food, etc. If not, then call the vet.

I would go to the vet immediatly. She may have somthing stuck in her intestines such as a rock, or other non edible substance thats causing her to have pain and not want to eat.

I would strongly recommend a vet visit for your dog.

you should probably try a new type of food to give her.....she might get the feeling of wanting to eat again.

i would ask your vet. if she is experiencing any symptoms like diarrhea or vomiting, it is possible that she got into something.
