Addiction is a chronic brain disease that induces compulsive activity, despite health, social and legal consequences. A person may seem to make a voluntary choice to try a drug or begin a type of behavior, but a variety of genetic and environmental factors influence those decisions.

Many perfectly healthy dogs eat only 60% to 70% of the amount stated on the packaging. When a dog wonât eat, it is referred to as anorexia. This is different from anorexia nervosa, an eating disorder found in humans. Instead anorexia describes a complete loss of appetite in dogs. Because loss of appetite in dogs can indicate illness, it is important to seek veterinary care if you notice changes in your dogâs eating habits. It is especially important to respond promptly to a refusal to eat in dogs that usually eat well.
