This is a problem that can often plague older dogs who are missing some teeth. Or, they may simply lack the jaw strength to crunch kibble. If you've got a senior dog, you might want to gradually switch them over to special food for (what we like to call!) veterans.
Sometimes, perfectly healthy dogs can have a hard time chewing kibble, too, though. Don’t worry, it’s very easily fixed—simply moisten his or her food with a small amount of water to soften it. You may even choose to use wet dog food for this instead of water, which will add even more flavor to his dinner. In both cases, you can choose to microwave their food for a few seconds so that it smells more appealing, just don’t make it overly hot!
