How can I fatten my cocker spaniel

Question
I have a two year old cocker spaniel who is not eating and has lost some weight.  I feed her Pedigree adult complete nutrition dog food.  She will eat food that my son gives her from table but when it is time for her to eat the dog food she smells it and walks away.  I told my son not to give her any more table food but she still stands in the kitchen waiting for more. After a while she will walk over to the dog food eat a few bites and walk away. What can I do to put the weight back on her?

Answer
She doesn't like the food and I don't blame her :)  Pedigree is inferior.

Go to a much better,higher protein food like Innova.  Yes, it costs more but if you read the feeding guide you'll see you use half as much.  And don't stick exclusively with kibble.

Go to Naturapet.com and find a dealer near you.  If there isn't one, write back and I'll give you other recommendations.
