    Shepherds often don't have much excess weight to lose. Unless there have been some other changes in her life, likely she has a medical problem. I wouldn't risk delaying a vet visit to tempt her with rich food. That is nearly always the wrong thing to do. For more on this see the sticky at https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/i...tml#post254171

    Even if this is a rare case of needing more tempting food, I would trust your vet in selecting what.
