Why won't my dog eat his new allergy kibble? Is he a picky eater?

Question

My dog won't eat his food! I have been giving him Nutro's lamb and rice recipe to help with his chicken and beef allergies but he does not like it. I was giving him just the wet food and he would reluctantly eat it but buying only cans gets a little expensive so i tried mixing it with kibble of the same flavor and he wont eat it at all. I tried soaking the kibble to make it softer because i thought it hurt his teeth but still nothing. And it's not a health issue because he eats other stuff fine

Some dogs tend to be picky eaters and learn to wait to eat until tastier food is offered. I'd recommend seeing a veterinarian to rule out a medical problem that could be causing a decrease in appetite and make sure he is maintaining his weight. If everything checks out, it is okay to offer food and wait a day or even two - he'll eat when he's hungry!
