I would try mixing in more of the Wellness super 5, and even a little less of the RC. She may not be as picky if she sees that their is more Wellness in her bowl. Are the Welllness kibble bigger then the RC? I have not used RC before so not sure if the size is the same or what. How long have you been trying her on the new food? Sometimes it takes a while tor them to get use to a new food. She will not starve herself. Do you free feed her?
I am also just starting to mix Wellness super 5 with Evo red meat , small bites, because my Shih Tzu looks likeshe could use some weight on her, they love the new stuff, but, I did at first notice they prefered Wellness over the new kibble which is actually smaller sized kibble.
Having her spayed and a couple teeth extracted in 2 weeks should not effect the change in her diet , plent of time for her to get use to the new food. One nice thing about wellness is that you can buy it canned. I would reccomend getting some of the canned for her to eat after the teeth extraction, just until she feels better. But always consult a vet before hand what would be best for her to eat after her surgery. The organic wellness is very high in protien, 95% . So if she has trouble eating at all afterwards , you could always supplement her feedings using that. Perhaps even mixing a little of the canned with the new kibble up really really well , she might take a better liken to it.
