I agree. My mom hates taking her dogs to the kennel whenever my family goes somewhere because one of them really pines for her and will barely eat until she comes back. That dog is always skinnier when my mom goes to get her after a trip.
Or, it could be something else. My boyfriend has had this same trouble with his dog recently. He hadn't changed the dog's food or anything; the dog just stopped eating. Which is odd, because he's usually nosing his bowl around when it's close to suppertime. To make the dog eat his dry food, my boyfriend started mixing it in with some wet canned stuff and it seemed to work, and since then he's slowly weaned the dog off it so that he's back to just dry. Everything seems OK now. I think I'd call another vet, though, and get another opinion if your dog continues to be off its feed.
