Hi, how old is your dog?
How long have you been feeding him human food as sometime a dog will go off there own food and only eat what we eat if they are given it..

You can try stopping him from eating human food and only put down his own it is perfectly safe to let your dog go a couple of days without food aslong as he has water.

i know it sounds cruel but i have done this with my own dogs when they would only eat what i ate it only took them a day without food for them to eat there own....

Have you had him to the vet for a check up? If so and there is nothing ailing him. He is probably putting one over on you. Dogs will totally ignore there kibble if you start babying them with human food. My dogs have gone a day without food, just because they were hoping for something else. They eat kibble (Innova) every meal for two years now and love it.
