How to get my picky dog to eat dog food instead of just chicken?

Question

My dog will only ever eat roasted chicken breasts. I have tried at least 6 dog food brands and she will not eat any of them. Dry food and wet food. I have tried other human food. She just sniffs everything and walks away. She won't take treats except for a pig ear. It's getting frustrating. What do I do? Can she be ok on chicken alone?

Chicken alone is neither a healthy nor balanced diet. You will need to firm with Ghost and feed only a good quality dog food. Choose one she has eaten in the past and start her on a consistent schedule. Dogs thrive on routine. Prepare her food and leave it down for 30 minutes before picking it up whether she has eaten or not. Repeat this at the next mealtime. Do not feed her anything else between meals. This includes treats. Be firm. She will not starve. She will eat once she realizes her dog food is all that will be offered.
