Default Problem Eater

I've been fighting with Wookie the past few months with his eating habits. He always used to gobble his food up like crazy. I ended up changing his food to Wellness Fish recipe due to some allergies he had last summer.

The past few months he has stopped eating his food as much. Some days he eats up and other days he may only pick at it. I've taken him to the vet and he's been cleared for liver issues, worms, and anything else. He has lost a lot of weight and is very skinny, but the vet says he is healthy besides his weight.

I bought some wet food and am transitioning back to Blue Buffalo Small Bites. I'm thinking he may not like the taste of the Wellness. He gobbles the wet food up like crazy, but still doesn't seem interested in the dry. I am really hesitant to feed him strictly that because of the dental issues it causes, but he is so skinny I feel that I don't have a choice. So my questions are: does anyone else feed their Yorkie's a mostly wet food diet? and any other ideas to put weight on him?
