We've attempted to kennel her twice while we went on vacation.She's shut down and not eat.Last time she didn't eat for 4 days and the Doggie Daycare insisted we leave early to come pick her up.

I'm sure she would have probably eaten a ribeye if it were placed in her bowl but she won't eat dog food.

Mine does the same thing. I tell them that she will eat when she gets hungry enough. A dog will not starve itself to death

Did you kennel train her? Or do you just throw her in a kennel when you leave without her normally being in a kennel?

She is completely kennel trained.She eats,sleeps in her kennel.We never lock her in it since it's her "safe zone".

Could you pay someone to dogsit--come to your house once or twice a day and feed her/let her out? My daughter has done it for one of her friends and our neighbors a few times.

as i see it, one of two things is going on here:

1. you're not doing enough. dogs are infallible creatures, and if there's a problem, it's because of the owner. you think she'll eat steak? then frickin feed her steak. would you rather her not eat and die? wow. makes me wonder what other shortcuts you're taking with her health. maybe you're not mentally equipped to be a dog owner, b/c anyone else would have given her steak already.
2. she found out that she's black

What kind of boarding place is it? Is she in the kennel all day long, except when they take her out twice a day to shite and eat? If so, try a different place that lets her play/exercise all day with the other dogs there. It will be a little more expensive, but she'll be more comfortable and less anxious.

I had a dog that would do the same, get depressed and starve itself when kenneled at the Vet, but the Vet would give those dogs Popeye's chicken after a couple days and the dog would eat they said the dogs could never resist the fried chicken...
