Yes, it is possible that dog may not eat or have reduced appetite at the starting days of pregnancy and at the start of labor. This loss of appetite during early stages of pregnancy can be due to  hormonal changes. But, during late stages of the pregnancy, appetite in dogs is  dramatically increased. Along with loss of appetite during early stages of pregnancy, dog can show other symptoms like
  1. Behavioral changes
  2. Reduced activities
  3. Nipple growth
At the start of labor, appetite is also lost that can be due to pain and discomfort caused by uterine contraction.
