Dental disease can prevent a dog from eating sufficient calories due to pain while chewing or swallowing. To confirm this, inspect the dog's mouth for red or bleeding gums, tartar buildup, or loose teeth. A veterinarian will perform a physical oral examination to assess the severity of dental decay or periodontal disease as the primary cause for reduced food intake.
