If you feel better with gradual switch over, you have to grind that hamburger up fine enough that she cant pick out the pieces....they are tooo coursely ground up. You can then put her kibble in her bowel, add a couple of teaspoonfuls of the finely ground meat to the kibble, stir it up well....you are trying to coat the kibble with the ground meat scent....you may even add a teeny bit of water to make it mix well...then you offer it at a specific time of the day.....every day.....all the books then say present it for 15 minutes, then pull it up. They soon learn that this is what they are getting....and you will be offering it AT THE SAME DESIGNATED TIME DURING THE DAY, FOR THE SPECIFIED AMOUNT OF TIME, THEN IT GOES AWAY! She will come to your way of thinking....then you slowly decrease the amount of meat you are putting in there. I would suggest ground boiled chicken, as opposed to ground meat....STOP THE BETWEEN MEAL TREATS!! You said she had been to the vet and treated with Flagyl and diet for the diarrhea...."getting into stuff she wasnt supposed to"....this is as much of a concern as trying to get her onto her kibble....you have to be sure your home is puppy proofed and she is NOT eating things she shouldnt be getting into!
