Bakers dog food. How bad is it?

Ive tried so many dried foods for my dog. Loads of posh expensive ones. She is so damn fussy. Ive tried putting hot water in it to soften it. Mixing it with tinned food ( she manages to leave most of the biscuits still somehow) mixing it with sardines. Ive tried loads because shes had a few skin issues.

She does eat it eventually when shes hungry enough but reluctantly.
The other day i bought her some bakers chunks and she really enjoyed it.
It says its a complete food, but is it not more like feeding them skittles?
Ive had her a few months and shes an older rescue. Im not sure how long i can be bothered with the stress amd expense of all the different foods she doesnt like.
Im tempted to just get her bakers complete if she genuinely likes it and its loads cheaper. Is anyone elses dog fine on it?
Or even alternate it?

im just using it now as a cheap bag of dog treats, but continuing with the kibble shes not as keen on. She can like it or lump it.

My dog used to have James Wellbeloved kibble until her teeth got bad, now she is on nature's menu raw food and loves it. Is it worth trying raw food again? Did you introduce it really slowly?

Bella was on Bakers before she was rescued, she was underweight so not sure whether she was underfed as well but she was very nervy and didn't settle. When we swapped to grain free food first kibble and now wet she looked healthier, her poo became solid and she stopped constantly scavanging so it obviously wasn't suiting her.

Have you tried Autarky? Decent food & not stupidly expensive. I add either cooked chicken (thighs & drumsticks stripped off the bone) a few times a week or sausages/bacon/eggs/mince to add some variety.

Your dog sounds like mine.
We have tried lots and lots of different dry foods.( Softened/dry/mixed with every wet dog food brand available). It's a nightmare.
He likes all the first time we give him them then refuses them the next day. We are in the cycle of rotating what he has but to be honest he doesn't seem to like any of it at the moment.
I'm going to try removing his bowl after 20 minutes.
It's a very expensive farce.
