Some brands I like include Science Diet, Royal Canin, and Nutro. Each of these brands offers a variety of types of food in both wet and dry formulations, and some even have specific formulas for certain breeds of cat, or nutritional need. You can try slowly transitioning to a new food to see if Bella enjoys any of them. Try not to switch too rapidly as a sudden food change can cause digestive upset. If she's having a hard time eating dry food, you can also try adding a little water to soften up any kibble, and warm it up in the microwave for 2-4 seconds to make it more enticing.
