I only use canned food mixed into kibble for a picky eater. I'm working Alice away from it and she's doing well eating the kibble alone now most of the time. My pain in the butt Akita picks at her food if there's not canned mixed in, so if I need her to eat in kind of a hurry I'll mix some in.
If they're eating kibble well, I don't bother with it at all. If I feel like they deserve a little something extra in their kibble
, I'll throw in some leftover chicken or raw beef that I'm cooking. Dogs don't need canned food and it's really expensive
