I concur with the others that recommend trying raw. I have a VERY picky 14 year old Maltese that has never eaten well. It was always very stressful and a HUGE struggle trying to get her to eat. The best I could do was to find a kibble that she liked, and put it down for grazing, knowing that when she got hungry enough, she would eat.

About 4 months ago, I gave raw a shot (commercially prepared frozen -- Nature's Variety). I have never seen anything like it. She whimpers for it. She eats it immediately, as soon as I put it down. Not only does she lick her bowl clean, she goes and checks out my Yorkie pup's dish, too, to see if there is any left there (never is, but she checks anyway).

Give it a shot. It isn't gross, it looks just like canned food, but, IMO, doesn't smell strong like the canned stuff. It comes in small medallions so that you can thaw just what you need, a little at a time.
