Should I switch from kibble to wet food if my dog refuses kibble?

Maybe, but it's worth working out why the kibble's getting the cold shoulder first. A dog who suddenly goes off food they used to eat can be telling you something: a sore tooth, an upset stomach, or just that they're not feeling well. If the refusal came on suddenly or anything else seems off, a vet check is the sensible move before you put it down to fussiness.

If it's genuinely a taste and texture thing, plenty of dogs just find dry biscuits boring, and there's a lot of middle ground between "plain kibble" and "switch everything to wet." You can warm the kibble slightly, add a splash of warm water or a spoon of wet food as a topper, or try a more palatable food altogether. A more palatable, meat-forward food often wins a fussy dog over, because it holds onto more of the natural smell and flavour of the meat.

If you do change foods, do it slowly over a week or so, mixing more of the new in each day, or you'll swap a fussy dog for an upset tummy. And be honest with yourself about one thing: some clever dogs learn that refusing dinner makes something tastier appear. If your dog's otherwise well and bright, holding your nerve with a good food often sorts it faster than a full switch.
