But, now I have this problem.
She's not chewing the kibble! She's just scarfing it all up!
I'm wondering if I shouldn't move to something with a larger kibble that will force her to chew her food.
I know that it's debatable as to whether they need dry food or not for their teeth but I would like to see her use her teeth for more than smiling! 
Any suggestions anyone?
(She eats canned for dinner and kibble for breakfast. Sometimes she'll chew a few pieces but for the most part, swallows it whole) |
As long as she is acting normal and pooping normal, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Canidae is an excellent food and I don't think chewing it matters too much as long as she isn't choking on it. My lab scarfs his food down without chewing it and my vet said it was fine.
