Instead of constantly switching foods, which can cause digestive upset and a reluctance to eat, I would try to stick with one food that you want to use for a period of a few weeks. You can add a few treats such as some boiled chicken to the meal to entice eating. You will also want to stop giving any people food or other treats outside of meals as this may be encouraging Lucy to be a picky eater. If she doesn't eat her food within 15 minutes, you can pick it up, and try again in another hour. Most dogs will get hungry enough to try the food and start eating it again.
