I am very glad she ate better this time. When a new puppy or even a scaed dog come to a new home this is typical . I have had to hand feed for over two weeks before. Most dogs love the wet food, so mixing that with her kibble is a hreat alternative. Ihope she does not get bored with it though. Since she is young i would continue to do that . Anther things that will work if you really have to get her to eat, is cook some boiled chicken, no grease , and either shred it or make small pieces , then mix it in with the wet food. OR try wetting fown her kibble . it is a pain to do all of this, but she is still adjusting to her new home , and is young, like a human baby , we have to try almost anything sometimes to get them to eat. As soon as she becomes more comfortable gradully mix less and less of the canned. You will want her eating kibble again. Eventually.
