It was worse when she was younger, and a couple of times she would run out of energy and get sluggish and kinda cranky but still refuse to eat. So I finally figured out to put treats in her bowl and play "hidden treasure," which can tempt her. Or I would carry kibble instead of training treats and try to get her to eat a few mouthfuls here and there while we were on the go. Sometimes putting water in the food will also ensure that she's getting enough of both. Adding some canned food can also help. When we're doing leisure travel now, I just figure she can be hungry or not. But if it's something where we're using extra energy and are on a tight schedule with extra stress, I do more fiddling to make sure she gets enough to keep going until she settles down and starts eating more normally.
