My puppy is refusing to eat kibble. I've tried softening it with water. Is there any alternate food option that I can give her?

You can try baby food, low fat yogurt, canned food, or even boiled chicken and rice. You can try pedialyte or Gatorade as a water supplement to help. If she is still uninterested or you notice vomiting or diarrhea then she should be checked for an infection or obstruction

You can try a different brand or ingredient to the food or add canned food to it. Boiled chicken and rice is safe along with baby food, low fat yogurt or green beans. If it continues she may be getting sick and should be checked by your vet
