My dog refuses kibble. Is her human food diet healthy and balanced?

Question

Hi.. Hope you are doing good:) Mini has stopped eating her dry food.. She is eating only rice with chicken or veggies or egg.. Is it okay if I just feed her these things? Also which leafy greens are safe for her? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | unspayed | 11 months and 3 days old

What Mini has done is train you to feed her what she wants, when she wants it. Her present diet is neither healthy nor balanced. To get her back on to dog food, start transitioning her back to her kibble. Each day, decrease the amount of chicken/veggies/egg and increase the amount of kibble. Prepare her food at the same time(s) each day. Dog thrive on routine. Leave her food down for 30 minutes before picking it up whether she has eaten or not or even if she has picked out the table food. Do not feed her anything else between meals. Be firm and be consistent. She will not starve. She will eat when she gets hungry and sees no table food is forthcoming. You can mix in some warm water to stimulate her appetite.
