No matter what I mix with the Blue Buffalo kibble she will only eat 1/4 cup daily of kibble. She has issues with most meats except chicken. She will not eat raw food. She will eat veggies even after she refuses to eat more kibble. I will wait at least 2 hrs after she eats the kibble to give her the veggies.

It took months to find a new kibble she would eat to get her on the Blue. Tried TOTW, wellness, evo, nature balance, various proplan blends ( my preferred blend), etc.

Right now she keeps eating extra tidbits (tops of 10 pieces) from Buddy's bowl which is Proplan Performance. Prior to her spaying she was eating this Proplan forumula but after her spay she refused to eat it. Hopefully she will start to eat more of the Proplan. He gets some fish oil mixed in with his kibbles. So far her bowels seem to be okay. He doesn't mind her sharing a bowl with him and will even step back and give it to her.

I'm planning to switch the other yorkies back to Proplan for simplicity.
