My picky dog won't eat dry kibble without wet. Should I change brands?

Question

My Name Is Marc. I have a border Collie/Lab. And she is a very very picky eater. I gave her merrick chicken and sweet potato for awhile and she got tired of it. I changed the flavor to venison and chick peas. at first she was ok with not to crazy. My dog got sick with a ear infection and the only way she would eat it is with wet food mixed in thats because she was in paiun.iif i just put the dry kibble down she will not eat it. Its becoming expensive to keep buying wet. Should i changed brands? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 2 years and 8 months old | 40 lbs

I am happy Luna is feeling better but a picky eater can be very frustrating. In my experience most dogs will not starve themselves. Changing foods often or back and forth Luna is learning if she does not eat she will get a better or different food. If the vet told you she is healthy I would start some touch love on her. I would get a food you want to feed and put it out for her. If she does not eat for 1-2 days than I would not be concerned. Typically once Luna realizes she is not getting anything else she will eat. Also if LUna is holding her body weight I do not get overly concerned. My own dogs will eat fast one day and slow or not at all the next. I think dogs will sometimes change there eating habits and this is okay as long as they are maintain weight and are still happy and healthy. I hope that helps
