  It may be difficult to get Zuzia to eat a regular dog kibble because she is used to eating meat and bones now. In my opinion, two of the most palatable brands appear to be Royal Canin and Purina Pro Plan but getting her to accept any kibble may be challenging. You can try to slowly transition her to this diet by giving her 90% of the food she is used to and 10% of the kibble, every few days increase the amount of kibble by 10% and decrease the amount of the old food by 10%. The key here is that you do not supplement her with anything else. She will likely not eat the new food at first but will eventually become hungry enough that she does. You can also look into a dog food company that creates an almost human type meal. Just make sure it is certified to be complete and balanced. Lastly, the diet that you are feeding her is not complete and balanced. It is lacking many of the vitamins and minerals. You should switch her diet to something complete to avoid long-term effects. Best of luck.
