You should try to give the dog different types of food, maybe the one you chose she does not like try foods like, iams or canned food like Alpo.

This is a very common problem, common enough that I have prepared a sticky on it. https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/information-articles-our-dogs-expert-labman-53153.html#post254171

The most frequent cause is over feeding. I discuss how to tell if your dog is over fed and what to do about it along with other possible causes and fixes.

Switching dog foods is one of the worst things you can do. It is best to stick with one protein source so that if the dog ever does develop allergies, it is easier to work around. A more tempting chow isn't the answer for either a sick or an over fed dog. Please ignore that first post. I meant to disapprove it, but forgot to change the default.
