One of the advantages of kibble over other food, it they tend to only eat enough to satisfy the caloric needs. It's not so tasty that they will over indulge. This is a good thing, and most dogs would eat themselves to death if allowed. She may also be fussier because she's no longer have a growth spurt, and the amount of food you feed daily is excessive. The oil you are added on top adds many calories too, so that would lessen her appetite for her kibble. How much food are you feeding daily? I personally don’t think you should do a food change every time they get fussy or you teach them to be fussy.

The other thing I should mention is they do lose the their appetite when they are in pain, and loss of appetite was the only symptom Joey had when he had an eye ulcer, so you want to make sure she’s feeling okay, otherwise. If she’s won’t eat anything in 24 hours, I’d take her to the vet, but make sure family members aren’t giving her snacks.


What type of beauty coat oil are you using, I think I'd be afraid to add much oil to a Yorkies food, they are prone to pancreatitis.
