Anyone who tells you that pet ownership is easy… has clearly never been a pet owner. Our pets do so many weird things for no clear reason. Suddenly, our pets will refuse to eat, or our pets will do stuff they know they're not allowed to do, and we have absolutely no way of knowing what's wrong. They can't tell us. Pets are like babies in that way. You have to pay attention and hope that you find what's wrong, and that what's wrong is nothing too serious.

Eventually, in one way or another, you find out what is happening to your pets, and that's what happened in this story. After such a long time of worrying about the fact that her dog stopped eating, this owner found out that all her pup needed… was some company. No one likes to eat alone, right? Why should our dogs be any different?

We want to know more about this story - how did you find out that this was what your doggo was missing? How did you make sure? Was it a coincidence? Did someone advise you to do this? And just how happy is your doggo now that you know and are able to give him what he needs?

The most important thing is that you found out now. This is such a specific thing, such a small thing, that so many people - we are sure - would have gone their whole lives not knowing about it. You know now. That's what matters. And you can spend the rest of making up for those lost years.
