If canned is out of the question and the food can't be changed and she licks whatever is added off, then I guess you only have one choice. That is leave it down (or feed her at scheduled times) and she'll eat when she is hungry because dogs won't let themselves starve. The proble I have with this method is that they may not starve but some will eat just enough to stay alive. Still others may be put in a dangerous health situation because of hypoglycemic risk. I just don't think this is the right method to use. Are you sure that 1/4 cup isn't enough for her though? Is she losing weight? I wouldn't be too sure that she likes the food. It sounds like she is just tolerating it because if she liked it, she would be eating more...
