Dog won't eat kibble? What safe, healthy food toppers can I use?

Question

My dog won’t eat just his kibble. He will eat it if i feed him a piece but to have a bowl full of it, he turns away. So recently his immune system needed a boost so I’ve been giving plain Greek yogurt on his kibble and cottage cheese. Are these bad for his everyday meal? What other things can I put on his kibble to make him eat it up? Can you please give tips and wet food suggestions? I feed him Royal Canin dry food but he hates their wet food.

Is this new that he won't eat his kibble? If so then I recommend bringing Bear to the veterinarian to have him examined. If this is not new I would try adding water to the food to see if he would like it. I would not hand feed him or just feed him piece by piece. Would he eat off of a plate? Or maybe if his bowls are not raised, raising his bowls. I would also make sure he isn't thin. So if your veterinarian said he is ideal weight as long as he is not losing I am not as concerned. They will eat when they are hungry unless something medical is going on. With you hand feeding or adding stuff he is going to wait to eat because he knows he will be getting something else.
