We recently switched to Wellness Simple (limited ingredient) Salmon + Potato kibble to get the chicken out of Buttercup's diet due to suspected allergy with skin manifestations. The vet recommended we try salmon, but I found only a few foods with salmon and no chicken products.
Is there anything I can do to make her food more palatable when she is not very hungry? She seems to enjoy her kibble later in the day but in the morning she doesn't want it and instead prefers to sleep. However, she seems prone to vomiting if her stomach remains empty more than ~12-14 hours, and she is very happy to delay eating until mid-afternoon. She also needs food with her current medication course, so I have to get her to eat in the morning. It has been a real challenge!
I've started coating her kibble in natural peanut butter (her favorite treat), which sometimes works, but other times she just deftly licks it off of the kibble. Not sure if Wellness is her forever food since we switched only 2 weeks ago, but I wonder if there's anything else I can do to make her food appealing in the morning without training her to expect a treat-food combination at every meal.
She can be finicky as she has turned her nose up at all offered veggie treats and cider vinegar in her water. We would consider making some or all of her food at home, but I don't know where to begin. Thanks if you can share any tips or tricks to help!
