| Semi soft dog foods? Lily had 10 teeth removed 2 weeks ago and is doing and smelling great!The only problem is she will not switch back to solid foods.She was eating Artemis small breed food but now won't touch it.When she had the teeth removed the vet told me to get her moist and meaty brand dog food as it was soft.She will NOT touch any kind of canned food no matter what kind!So we were stuck with the moist and meaty crap.I am pretty sure she is almost mended as she has started to play rough with my sock on my foot again and she has chomped down quite hard a few times,so i know shes not in pain or anything.Is there a dog food that is semi solid?I seen royal canine for yorkies said it was softer that hard dog food?Is there any other kinds also?Preferable a kind that is sold at petco as thats all we have.I dont want to keep feeding her the crappy moist and meaty junk!And we dont want to mess up her pretty teeth now!Please help!!

| Try taking her normal (dry) food and softening it in a little warm water. That way she will still be getting good food but it should be easy on her mouth and it will be easier to get her back on track once she's healed. |

| She will have nothing to do with any kind of food that is moist.I have even tried to moisten it with chicken broth and she said no way!My BF says that shes just using her sympathy card on me and that if i just left the Artemis food in her bowl all day and nothing else she would eventually eat it because she got hungry.What should i do?

| What about softening her hard food and mixing in some chicken breast meat? I don't know of too many dogs that will turn down chicken breast. I wouldn't rely on leaving hard food down with her right now...if her mouth hurts it isn't fair to her and she may not eat enough to keep her well nurished...she could also get something stuck in a socket and that could be bad. Or you could even cook up some white rice, chicken and green beans...my crew absolutely loves that. |
