You need to make a place for the cat to eat so Coco cannot get her food. Typically we use a baby gate to close off the doorway to a room where the cat's food, water and litter box are. Like this one. The cat can jump over or you can leave a small gap at the bottom so the cat can go under but the dog cannot. https://www.amazon.in/Gate-Extra-Extension-Walk-Thru-Protective-Lock-Safety/dp/B0818NR17W/ref=sr_1_11?crid=398CDM9GRTBUX&dchild=1&keywords=baby+gate&qid=1588002437&sprefix=baby+gate%2Caps%2C286&sr=8-11 I suggest you feed her a high quality diet. If you do that she does not need any other supplements. She may not like the taste of the food you have now. If you give her only dry food you may need to mix in some wet/gravy food. https://www.petsworld.in/royal-canin-german-shepherd-adult-dog-food-3-kg.html This gravy food is for picky eaters: https://www.petsworld.in/royal-canin-exigent-gravy-dog-food-1-02kg.html
