Hi there and thank you for using PetCoach to address your question. Some dogs can be quite picky with their food and this could be due to texture, kibble size and flavor. I typically recommend offering all varieties of texture (wet and dry, crushed kibble vs. whole kibble) and offer various sizes and shapes of kibble. You can also add in chicken broth to hard food to help make it more enticing. If a homemade diet is all she will eat, then I recommend visiting www.balanceit.com and formulating a balanced diet along with the appropriate vitamin and mineral supplement that is sold on the website. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
