I know this may not make any sense...I know kibble is dry food and therefore going to be more difficult to chew.

But Lil Bit is having a hard time chewing the dry food I am giving her....she wants it....but takes forever to chew one little tiny piece....

She is 4 months old and weighed 1 # 15 oz today.....I'm not sure if she is loosing teeth and has not yet replaced them...I am feeding her (& the chi) Purina Pro Plan...with really small kibble.....the chihuahua never had any problems...(but then again she has 2 rows of teeth!!! Kept every one of her puppy teeth.....inside her mouth looks like a scene out of "Jaws"!)

Does anyone know of a dry kibble that is possibly smaller or even something easier to chew??? I have tried soaking it...she refuses to touch it.
I have tried grinding it in a blender.....makes a powder...she will eat it if I put canned with it.
I really do not want her (or the other) on canned food all the time. She is getting a bit picky about eating since I have had to resort to some canned...

Any advice???
