I have noticed the correlation between him not eating and us (mainly mom and dad) feeding him table scraps and letting him lick their plates. Should I tell them to quit so that he eats?
I can't see how the Beneful is not tasty to him, it even smells yummy to me.. IDK what to do. Help!

You're talking about the beneful prepared meals? That's not a good food just to be giving him. We give our outside dogs(they're big) about 1/4 of a package of that apiece in with their taste of the wild dog food everynight, just as a treat. Your dog needs a good food, and should be eating hard food
As far as tablescraps..NO, do you know that tablescraps can cause a dog to get pancratitis, which can be deadly, plus make the dog a picky eater(which is what you're seeing now). If you want to give him any human food, it should not be done from the table, that causes them to beg and be picky and not want their "dog food". If you give him any of your food, give a little bit of fruits or veggies. Never any raisins, chocolate, and there are other foods not good for him(onion, garlic). Just put in food toxic to dogs (google it).
I would start looking tomorrow for at least a 4 star food to have your pup on, and tell Mom and Dad NO MORE tablescraps. You want your dog to live a long healthy life
