My dog stopped eating kibble after moving. Is wet food a good option?

Question

Hi, I need of advice for my 3 yr old dog. Before I moved she ate Purina Dog Chow Tender & Crunchy. When I moved across the country she stayed back home with my boss eating Natural Balance duck and potato. Now that I've moved her with me she hasn't been eating kibble. This includes Rachael Ray's brand, natural balance, etc. She did eat a little wet food but I'm not sure if it's a good option. Should I should feed her strictly wet food or just cook (rice, Turkey, liver, eggs, veggies, etc)?? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 2 years and 11 months old | 30 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Fifi. Her appetite may be decreased due to all of the life changes she has experienced recently. Everything you described can be stressful for a dog. I would continue to offer the canned dog food if that is what she currently prefers. It will be nutritionally balanced for her. Once she is eating normally again, you can begin to offer kibble and she should eat it. If she is vomiting, has diarrhea or other signs of illness, then she will need to see her veterinarian. In this case, her lack of appetite is likely related to an underlying disease. I hope this information helps!
