How to get Sage to eat more?

Sage is not food motivated and never acts like she's hungry, I have to kennel her to get her to eat and have tried warm water on her food which sometimes works. I also have given her Canidae instead of TOTW and am picking up the bison today. We have always fed these 2 kinds and she has at least eaten but now she seems to be getting pickier:( Any thoughts without putting yummy food on top of her food?

She weights 23#'s and should be 25#.

I was going to suggest plain yogurt. I've just been spending the past day or so trying to get my mind around the idea of a Corgi who doesn't like to eat. :-)

Maybe she is just small does the vet say she needs to put weight on? Quin only weights 21

Sage is eating better with a bit of rice and warm water in her food. Could it be she needs some carbs? Could the grainfree be upsetting her tummy? I have also started putting her in our back hall crate to eat....out of the way of others except for Wiley.

Koda is very picky too. I sometimes put a tiny bit of plain organic stoneyfield yogurt on his food and mix it in. Other times I use plain natural chicken broth. Progresso doesn't add onion or garlic and he will eat much better with that.

He eats Fromm's and I alternate the flavor otherwise he gets bored and stops eating it.
