Are you leaving food out all the time or do you have her on a set feeding schedule? Putting your dog on a set feeding schedule should help. Dogs won't starve themselves for long. So put the food down for 15 mins. Put the bowl up after 15 mins no matter what is left in the bowl and don't bring it out again until the next feeding time. Keep in mind that any treats you give might be making the dog less hungry. Also, like glenda said, it could be just stressed from the environment change. Lots of dogs won't eat when they travel or get boarded, etc. If the dog gets hungry enough though, it will eat. At this point, so early after you got her, I would not add food toppers. This could lead to the dog getting finicky so you will always have to add food toppers. Food toppers should be used only when the dog won't eat at all for an extended period of time.
