She was about 5 months old when we got her. We went thru over a dozen kinds of dry and canned food
For a short while, she ate Cesars, not liking most flavors. ""Picky"" Against all advice, we now feed her baked chicken drumstick and thighs, baked in our convection oven just for her. Or beef steak or roast from our table, (chicken and beef cut in very small pieces) I think we spoiled her just a little, her last name is LSD, "Little Spoiled Dog." About once a week she gets Cesars, quite frequently she will not eat it, even with grated cheese on it.
I tries many dried dog foods from the most expensive at PetSmart to some of the cheaper. Tried melting cheese on many of the dried foods or adding milk or water, and she ignored all of them. If I give her leftover meat (stored in fridge, then warmed) from the day before, many times she will not eat it, even with cheese on it. She appears healthy, not fat at all and not skinny.

ah~picky eaters. i understand your pain. my baby milu does the nose rubbing thing as well, and is a VERY picky eater. i didn't have much luck with dry kibbles, and did the same thing tried feeding her cesar and put cheese on her food, force feed, bribery...etc.. finally, i tried Nature's variety raw food, and she loves it. but she still hates eating the same food all the time and gets tired of eating the same thing, so i went to buy different types of raw meat for her today. (i mean, i wouldn't want to eat the same thing everyday either)
Good luck!
