My vet gave me special food for Pebbles on the off-chance that it's a food allergy causing her chronic infections.

So I started blending her old kibble and new kibble today, and I have a problem.

She won't eat her old kibble.

Well, if you want her to eat the new kibble, then you don't have a problem. But if you want her to eat her old kibble still, then just give her the amount she normally eats and ignore the pickyness. A healthy animal or human will never let themselves starve to death when there is food available. She might lose a bit of weight but she will likely realize that she can either go hungry or eat what she had been eating in the past. I mean if it was her former food, it couldn't have been THAT bad if she ate it before.

True.

It's kind of funny though. We used to be able to free feed her, we thought it was just an aspect of her personality. Turns out it's because she never really liked her food :)

That is strange. Most dogs can't be free fed.

We have been pretty much since we got her, and she's slightly underweight (although apparently not as skinny as with her previous owner).
