My dog is a picky eater and won't eat her dry food. What should I do?

Question

My dog is a real picky eater. Recently she stopped eating her dry food “Biljac” and started eating wet food called “Luvsome.” I don’t really like the ingredients in the food so I want to switch it (found in a supermarket). Sometimes she won’t eat it until she’s starving. I’m trying not to give her much human food (only give her when she hasn’t ate for a good period of time) she’s really picky and I have no idea what food she’d like(Biljac is suppose to be for picky dogs). Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 5 months old | 10 lbs

You can try mixing a teaspoon of the Luvsome food into the Bil-Jac diet to stimulate her appetite. Some warm water in the dry food may also help. Dogs thrive on routine, so try to feed at the same time every day. Prepare Juju's meal and leave it down for 20-30 minutes before picking it up whether she has eaten or not. Repeat this at the next mealtime. Do not feed any other food between meals. Be firm. She will not starve herself. She will eat when she is hungry. Do not allow her to train you to feed what she wants, when she wants it.
