Just like people, dogs can become picky eaters, especially if Stella is getting any people food or treats outside of her meal time. Some dogs may hold out in the hopes they get more people food or treats. I would give her food only for a few days with no extras, and set it down for 15 minutes at a time every few hours. Once she's hungry, she should eventually give the food another chance. Once she's back to fully eating only her food, you can then gradually introduce any treats again in moderation.
