Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much if she associates "play" with eating. I've heard that some dogs soley eat their food out of toys. If she'll eat her kibble out of one of those balls or another toy, I would think that would be okay. At least she's eating & she'll have fun at the same time
Sometimes when I try to introduce a new kibble, I put roasted chicken tenders in the food processor so that it's very fine. It helps to add some of the liquid from the roasting pan - otherwise the chicken won't chop up fine enough. Then I use my fingers to coat the kibble with the chicken, just enough so that it's coated. That technique has helped me in the past. Although, if Yoshi really doesn't like the kibble, he ends up sucking the chicken off & spitting the kibble out on his placemat
But, it's always worth a try!
Good luck to you! I completely understand your dilemma. If you have time to homecook, you might want to try it. I've found that the BalanceIT supplement has no taste/odor. My stubborn pups eat it when I mix it in their homecooked meals. I'm not sure if they ship to the UK though.
Good luck!!!!
