...for a dog to stop liking her food? you know here we tell people : go to the vet, go the vet....

My border collie stopped eating suddenly, after few days, I took her to the vet (what else was I supposed to do?) , he thought it was one bad tooth (not true, because I saw her chewing a toy with both sides fo her mouth), then after a couple of days of watering down the food, still not eating, we did blood tests: nothing - stool samples: nothing....she would only eat if I put a treat on top of her bowl... so I finally bought new food, and mix it to her usual food, and bingo Miss princess eats! and when I don't put anything with her food, she does not eat...

is it possible that suddenly a dog stops liking his/her food? and refuses to eat it based on taste???

After spending so much money, I feel stupid. I suspected it could be that but wnated to be sure... did I go to the vet too soon?
 
she trained you that if she doesn't get her treat in the bowl she won't eat and you have since bought into it. She won't starve herself. I bet in those two days she refused to eat she got other foods from the table or treats?
