I have a female rescue Boston terrier. She's little over yr old. I am having trouble getting her to eat . Hills small breed., Pro plan small breed, Blue Small breed and Eukanubba small breed she hasn't liked! I'm literally Ready to go canned food because my 1st Boston ate pedigree can feed lived 15 yrs he had touch of gas of course. What do you recommend? I've asked PetSmart and I'm looking at changing pet stores now especially if you can give me a good idea of what she Will eat. Dry or soft

Wet dog food is perfectly acceptable to feed you dog. There are many great brands and finding the right one for her is important. I would try the canned version on Science diet, Eukanuba, Proplan, Nutro, etc and see if she likes them. Remember when changing diets in dogs they can get an upset stomach so do it gradually.
