I've switched her kibble about four times, I've tried adding wet food to her kibble, I've added fruit to it, I've added vegetables, she will eat everything but the kibble. This is for all of the different kibbles I've tried (Blue Buffalo most recently). Then I switched her over to raw food (Instinct) and she loved it..for about 2 days. Now she's back to not eating it and I feel like I am just throwing money away since obviously if she doesn't eat it quickly then I have to throw it out. The ONLY thing she will eat is the crap food my mom gives her dogs (Beneful). I do not want her on this food but I don't know what to do. I've BEGGED my mom not to give her this food but I work nights and she always gives it to her anyway bc she claims the pup is hungry and won't eat anything else. Be that as it may, I don't want her eating Beneful! It really bothers me so much that she won't eat the quality food I give her, but she will eat the bad dog food. I've tried not feeding her all day so she will be hungry when I feed her...she STILL won't eat anything but the Beneful. What else can I possibly do to make her eat her food? I am so frustrated!
My Yoshi was exactly the same! I spend so much money on so many different kinds of food! He would eat it once or twice...then he would just sniff it & walk away. I got so worried because he wouldn't eat all day

Now I feed him FreshPet DeliFresh refrigerated food - the kind in a roll. He LOVES it! He also loves the DogNation Beef Treats. So I cut one of those in little pieces & mix it with the DeliFresh Chicken for lunch. I tried to mix some kibble in it a few times, but he spit out the kibble. Instead, I give him a Greenie every night. He also loves those little rawhide rolls - he loves the curly twisty ones even more though PetFresh also makes a dried sweet potato treat that I give him to chew on.

You should def give it a try. Good luck!
