I believe I would quit messing with her food. Don't mix the wet with the dry.

At 10 months she should be dione growing, so not eating as much. I'd give her the dry food to free feed and maybe some wet in the morning or evening, but only a tablespoon, so she doesn't fill up on it. And NO people food at all.

You have made her a picky eater by catering to her. If you know she ate the food before she should eat it again.

You could set out two or three kinds of dry food so she has some choices. Mine like to change off between Royal Canine and Science diet.

But if she knows she is going to get people food, she will hold out for it.
They aren't stupid.

Getting some samples is a good idea.
