First off, if your pet is losing wait it is always important to call your vet, if you are not sure whether or not they need to be seen, the vet will be able to answer whether or not you need to make an in-person visit after describing your pets symptoms. Most vets will be more than happy to address your concerns and answer any questions that you have. Weight loss can come from any number of factors, from a change in environment to an illness. If your dog is less than a year old, it is important to take your puppy to the vet to make sure he or she is growing correctly, is not sick, and does not have any parasites. Make sure you watch for any other changes in your pet, such as diarrhea or whining, so you can provide a vet with as much details as possible.

Hi Paula! I have found that mixing those items she really wants to eat (rice, broth, ground chicken) into the dry food is a great fix for this issue. Start out with 80-90% of the rice, broth, or chicken, and only 10-20% dry food, then slowly increase the amount of dry food until she is only eating the dry food. I am not sure what brand you use, but there are some really great natural brands, such as Wellness, that have both wet and dry food with chicken and rice as the main ingredients. You might be able to start mixing in wet food instead of dry, then mix in the dry food of the same flavor until she is, again, just eating the dry. Hope this helps and good luck!
