My healthy cat is picky. How do I get her to eat her dry food?

Question

Rogue who is 2, is not eating her dry food anymore she turns her nose up to it and cries for more food. My husband and I have tried different ways to get her to eat. She is very healthy, the brand of food is hardly changed. We just don’t want her to get sick or starve. How can we get her to eat more of her food?? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 2 years and 3 months old | 7 lbs

Rogue is a beautiful cat! First I would have her evaluated by her veterinarian to make sure there is no medical reason she is less interested in her food. Possibilities include a sore tooth, inflamed gums, gastrointestinal discomfort or food sensitivities. In the meantime you could try adding a little warm water to her food to soften it and enhance the smell or you could offer her some canned food mixed in or on the side, or you could try transitioning her to another brand of dry food.
