My puppy won't eat dry food. Can I keep mixing in liverwurst?

Question

I have a 5 mo. Shitzu/pikinese mix. She will not eat her too quality puppy dry food unless I mix about a tsp.of liverwurst. I adopted her from a rescue and they had mixed in chicken. How do I get her to eat the dry food with no addition of meat. Is the liverwurst ok? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 26 days old | 5 lbs

The problem with liverwurst is that it is high in fat, and it can cause pancreatitis. A teaspoon won't cause a problem, but you are right that Izzy really should be eating the dry food only. Each week, I would add a little bit less of the liverwurst to until she is eating the kibble only. Hopefully by slowly decreasing the amount, that will keep her eating her dry food. Best of luck.
