VeterinarianAdd a small amount of dog food to their regular meal. If the dog picks out the dog food, fine, but then there's nothing else until the next meal. No snacks or treats! Then repeat the same regimen. As the dog becomes less selective about what they eat, gradually increase the amount of dog food and cut back on the other food. For some dogs, this takes weeks.
