My puppy is a picky eater. I tried mixing try dry food with wet food, he would lick the wet food clean and leaving a lot of dry food uneaten. In addition to that he would rather eat his poop then his dry food. I feed him wholehearted and wellness kibble and mix it with wholehearted wet food. And he’s super skinny. What can I do to get him to eat his dry?

Try changing his dry food first. Royal Canin and Purina ProPlan tend to be some of the most palatable. Here is a link with some information about picky eaters: https://www.petcoach.co/article/my-pet-is-a-finicky-eater/ I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
