Dog eats grass, won't eat food. Should I change her diet or add supplements?

Question

My pup currently eats the costco kirkland adult dog chicken, vegetable, and rice (pinkish bag on their site). However, time to time she eats grass outside or doesn't eat her food. I sometimes I add nutritional yeast and/or wheat grass powder to her food for nutrients. Is this good for her? Should I switch to one of the other pictures attached? If so, which one? Thank you!

I'd keep Fifi on her normal diet. Eating grass is something a lot of dogs do, and it's usually because they like the taste or may have an upset stomach. There's no need to change her diet if she's doing fine on it. You don't need to add the yeast or wheat grass powder to her food.
