[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks everyone. I tried wetting the food last night and that didn't help. Even tried adding more wet food to it and she still barely touched it. If I give her just wet food, she gobbles it up. I just don't want to start bad habits of having to always add something to the dry food to get her to eat. [/quote]

If she no longer has weight issues, you may need to go cold turkey on the wet food.  If we go a few days of giving one of our dogs extras with his food (carrots, plain yogurt, anything he considers a "treat") he comes to expect it and he'll go on a bit of a hunger strike if we stop adding the extras to his food.  After a meal or two without the extras, he goes back to eating his food like normal, he's just hoping he can hold out and guilt us into giving him the treats again.  Again, would only recommend doing this if the puppy is truly back up to healthy weight, if she still needs to pack on some pounds or is borderline, wait until she's more solidly in the clear before trying to get her to switch.[/quote]
