Some dogs will be perfectly comfortable within a few days, many take a few weeks to settle in, and some dogs can take months or more to feel at home in a new place. Your patience is more likely to speed things up than impatience, no matter how long it takes for your dog to adjust.

Why is my dog not eating and barely moving?
Infections, illnesses, and pain can make your dog tired, listless and uninterested in food. The presence of a health issue that requires a visit to our veterinary hospital could be indicated by these symptoms for more than 24 hours.
If you suspect your pet has a food allergy, we recommend that you contact your veterinarian immediately. Your veterinarian will be able to determine the cause of the problem and recommend the best course of treatment.
What happens if a dog doesn’t eat for 2 days?
If your dog is quiet, not showing any symptoms, or has not eaten for two days, then you should take them to the vet. If you have any concerns about your pet’s health, please contact your vet as soon as possible.
What to do if your dog suddenly stops eating?
Pour warm water over dry food to make it softer. If your dog only eats wet food, you should feed them dry food. Social eaters sometimes just want attention, so hand-feeding is a good idea. In serious cases, your vet could prescribe a medication that could cause vomiting. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Do dogs get stressed when moving?
If you are moving your dog to a new home, they will most likely feel stressed. They may exhibit symptoms of fear or anxiety because they are not sure of their new environment. If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to take action. Your veterinarian will be able to determine the best course of action for your pet.
How long can a dog go without eating?
A healthy dog can go up to five days without food, but it’s only true if the dog is still drinking water. If you don’t take your dog to the vet for a checkup, some can go up to seven days without.
It’s also important to note that the amount of time it takes for food to be digested depends on a number of factors, including the dog’s age, how active he is, and how much exercise he’s getting.
So if you’re worried about how long it’s going to take for your pup to eat, you might want to check in with your vet to make sure he has a good idea of what’s happening.
Why wont my dog eat but will drink water?
Your dog might have an upset stomach and this is what’s causing him not to eat but still drink some water. It could be related to eating too quickly or eating too many treats. During this time, you shouldn’t be giving him treats to encourage him to drink.
