Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The best mechanism is to leave the food for 30 minutes to 1 hour and to take it away from her if not eaten at the end. She will eventually eat it all at once when she realizes that you will take it away if not eaten. This will make her feedings more consistent and she will get used to eating when you offer her food. Good luck and have a nice day!
