Thanks everyone, I'll try calling balance it, I just wasn't sure if they'd know about yorkies being prone to pancreatitis.

In doing some research, it seems that you can safely go as low as 10-15% in fat and still be okay.
I wouldn't hesitate to try the combo of adding some dry, especially if it gets her to eat. |
It's the upper fat limit I'm wondering about because of pancreatitis, even though she has no history of it.
I was thinking about giving her 1/4 of a serving of balance it food as breakfast and 1/4 for dinner and she could eat dry as she pleases for the rest of her food to lower the overall fat.

When I tried before she just flat out refused to eat any of it if I mixed it. If I had it seperated she'd eat the meat, vegetables, and a bite or 2 of carbs. If I gave her the carbs first she wouldn't touch it.
She had an upset stomach about 2 months ago so I made her chicken and rice, I had to pour chicken juice (the water that came out, not fat) over it to get her to touch the rice. She still picked the chicken out and left most of the rice.
