Our small dog eats dry food, but we add small bits of unseasonsed chicken, pork, beef or whatever meat/vegetables we have for dinner. She likes carrots, broccoli and green beans. She will then eat the dry food. I do soak her dry food with water (you can use chicken broth) for 10 min or so. It absorbs the water. I do this because she seldom drinks any water and the vet suggested it. It does soften the food, so maybe an option for the switch over.....
If you are in an area where mice may be a problem, do not leave dry food out. It is a delicacy to them and will attract them. Heard chewing and crunching at 5am and dog was in her bed next to me. Guess what was eating the dog food.
