I always add a tablespoon of something/protein, scrambled egg, cooked chopped up chicken breast, sandwich steak and a splash of water or plain chicken broth. Two feedings per day, measured amounts, pick up after 10 minutes if not consumed, store in the fridg and offer at the next mealtime. Even the best kibble is not enough on it’s own (imo)
I always add water to the kibble because some dogs just don’t drink enough water and that can result in problems, such as bladder stones down the road.
I stick with Nutrisca kibble (salmon and chickpea) as a base, I have had good results over 5 years.

When you have to board her, you can give the kennel a small container of cooked food and instruct them to add a little to her kibble which you also can provide, my neighbor does this, with good results.
PS: If they fast or eat light for a day or two at the kennel, it will be okay.
I might start to worry at 72 hours (3 days) if they are not at least drinking water. At that point, I would want a veterinarian to look at the dog.

Hi Samantha-

I went through the same thing when my pittie was a pup. I used to always have to doctor his food with canned etc. From working in the pet retail industry a lot of consumers have mentioned to me that Wellness CORE is not very palatable and from my own personal experience, Wilderness didn’t seem to be either. My pit never did well on grain free foods and never enjoyed eating them. Maybe try the grain inclusive version of Wellness Complete Health? I think most folks here will tell you that as a company, Wellness is far better than Blue.

I now feed all my pets Pro Plan and it’s the first food they all get very excited over and has given me the results I was looking for in their health. Been on it for a year now.

Best of luck with whatever you choose!
