Hi Larry A-

While I’ve never had this issue with any of my dogs, cats or myself, I agree with Red that it is a good idea to mix in some “extras” in her kibble.

We add a little canned food in with our dogs kibble every morning. In the afternoon we add either meat, eggs, or sardines along with misc. fruits and or veggies.

Here is a link to a download prepared by Steve Brown that gives recommendations and what and how much to add to your dog’s meals: https://www.dogwise.com/ItemDetails.cfm?ID=DN330EBK

Good luck!

p.s. A word of warning: once you start doing this your dog most likely will expect it and you will get the stink eye if there is not anything yummy in their kibble!
