Hi. We just got a Lhasa apso, she will be 5 month old this October. She would not eat unless we mix it with Gerber (chicken or turkey flavor).. is it safe for her to have it?

Look at the ingredients on the Gerber food. Make sure there are no onions, garlic, leeks or other vegetables in the same family as these. It should be fine to give her just a little to get her to eat as long as the ingredients don't have any toxic foods. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
